New Halls of Justice for the ECSC
We are pleased to announce that a consortium of eight firms led by acla:works has been appointed by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court [ECSC] to conduct site surveys in ten OECS territories, and to prepare appropriate user requirements and conceptual designs for ten new Halls of Justice facilities. This stage of the project is being funded by the Caribbean Development Bank.
The acla:works Halls of Justice consortium was selected against other international firms such as Stantec, OBM International, Genivar, NLBA [St. Lucia] and others. The consortium comprises acla:works [project leaders and architects], melon design [architecture], BBFL Phillips Engineering [structural engineers], ENCO [mechanical and electrical engineers], Bradley Paul Associates [quantity surveyors], Ecoengineering Consultants [environmental engineers], Earth Investigation Systems [geotechnical engineers] and Development Planning Consultant Services [development and environmental planners].
The Halls of Justice are to be developed as part of a comprehensive judicial reform programme in the OECS territories of St. Lucia, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Dominica, Nevis, Montserrat, BVI, Anguilla, and Antigua. acla:works’ experience in the Hall of Justice, Trinidad, enables us to demonstrate a high level of expertise for the ECSC project.
Members of the consortium have just returned from a five-day reconnaissance trip of the ten states, and have commenced the project by reviewing the selected sites for the Halls of Justice buildings in each territory.
Below: photos of the ten sites taken on reconnaissance trip earlier this month.
