Classified as a non-designated property of cultural heritage value, all the subsystems of the building had modifications. One of the changes included the in-filling of two large double-height courtrooms. The redeveloped courthouse has been rated as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Building.
