July 2009
When building the new Duval County Courthouse from scratch, it is amazing what can be constructed in just one year. Last July, 2009, the ground had been leveled and special large elevator cavities were under construction. The drilling and filling team was busy drilling over 1000 small footers then filling each with concrete over a two large city block area.
Today, July 14, 2010, the entire building has been poured and now the windows and exterior skin is being installed. Inside, the metal studs are going up along with the electrical wiring and air conditioning ducts.

Now, the west end of the courthouse is nearly complete. Its windows are installed and all of the exterior skin has been applied. Notice that the final concrete skin panels along the top have artistic drawings which finish off the special look. (See Cutout in lower right of photograph).
