Howard County Circuit Courthouse

“This team provided an elegant and well-thought-out site plan that incorporated an iconic and aspirational design with an honorable and stately building. Their design for our future courthouse will prove to be an architectural landmark that expresses the values and traditions of Howard County's justice system.”

Allan H. Kittleman, former Howard County Executive
