Lehigh County Courthouse – reclad
Allentown, Pennsylvania
Prefabricated ACM and Porcelain Tile Panels
Client: Alvin H. Butz
Architect: Ricci Greene Associates
Project Info
The Lehigh County Courthouse had been plagued for years with leaking windows. The plan was to temporarily board up the windows, remove the existing 4″ thick red granite facade, install new prefabricated ACM and large format porcelain tile panels from the outside, all while maintaining a very actively used and occupied courthouse. The Hex scaffolds were shared by the demo contractor and the prefab exterior wall contractor. The south elevation received a large addition resulting in a modern highly function new courthouse for the County of Lehigh.
