Tomochichi Federal Building and Savannah U.S. Courthouse

In 2016, GSA announced Congress appropriated funds for multiple Federal Courthouse construction projects across the nation, including modernizing the historic Tomochichi Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Savannah, Georgia, to meet the Federal Judiciary’s current and long-term needs for security, accessibility and operational efficiency.

Current status

This project is in the planning phase and is dependent on the completion of the new annex currently under construction. The new courthouse annex will serve as a workspace for displaced Court staff when work begins on the Tomochichi Federal Building.

Latest updates

GSA’s project team has completed an evaluation of swing space needs during construction and the project program of requirements. Additionally, GSA has created a shortlist of potential vendors for architect and engineering (A/E) services, for which a contract is expected to be awarded by Sep. 2019.

Next milestone

GSA plans to begin soliciting for a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) by June 2019.
