The new U.S. Courthouse in Greenville is a $45.3 million GSA Design Excellence project on the edge of the Mississippi Delta — three stories and roughly 55,600 square feet, replacing an aging 1959 facility for the Northern District of Mississippi.
Designed by Duvall Decker as a “lantern on the levee,” it wraps two stacked, wood-clad courtrooms in a faceted glass skin and fluted concrete panels that shield the interior from Delta heat, humidity, and rain.
Under general contractor Robins & Morton, Durwood self-performed the full interior package — metal stud framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings, and paint throughout — plus the courtroom’s luminous glass ceilings, the high-end backlit panels that wash the space in even, diffused light.
