About the Project: This Courthouse was named after former Attorney General of Arizona from 1949 to 1953, Evo Anton DeConcini. The Courthouse was completed in 2000 and sits at the edge of the Downtown area as the 15th tallest building in Tucson. The steel building has 2 6-story towers connected with a glass bridge, and includes basement parking, 14 courtrooms, a circuit court library, ceremonial proceedings courtroom, Judges conference room and dining, Jury assembly area, probation office, Media & Press room, Audio & Visual systems, and a Cafeteria. It’s known as the cityscape to the desert due to its location, and this fact is showcased in the mural of the Sonoran Desert in the main lobby.
