Courthouse renderingSteve Herrera Judicial Complex - First Judicial District Court
(Corner of Montezuma Ave. and Sandoval St.)

Ten years ago, Santa Fe County Commissioners began discussing the need for a new Courthouse. In 2005, the Commission voted to place the Courthouse downtown. In 2006, Commissioners put a $25 million general obligation bond to a vote by putting it on the ballot - the bond was passed by County residents in November 2006.

The total budget for the project is $63 million with $25 million from the bond, $30 million from a County issued revenue bond, and the remainder from proceeds of a 1/16 Gross Receipts Tax.

The project is being built downtown with four essential parameters guiding our design team:

  • Security – safe circulation patterns to maintain the security of judges, defendants, and the public by keeping them separate from each other; no public parking under the courthouse.
  • Space – need a minimum of 8 courtrooms and 2 hearing rooms (103,000 sq. ft)
  • Parking – 150 total parking spaces
  • Budget - $63 million allocated for the project, including $44 million for construction and remediation

Understanding that the new Courthouse will be a significant part of the historic downtown area, our design team is committed to respecting the traditional and unique design that sets Santa Fe apart nationally. To this end, the design team has received productive input from the local historic preservation design community and from the Historic Design Board.
