Momentum Plaza actually does make a lot of sense, if Don Adam would allow it. Huge plot of land with good ingress/egress.

They could call you to it now -- only you have to drive to Houston for it. My wife has been called to Houston twice already. I'm THRILLED this is coming here.

The article had an interview with the chief judge. He also outlined that the new College Station division will include the following counties: Brazos, Fayette, Austin, Waller, Walker, Grimes, Madison.

I wonder if it will cost $1550 a square foot to build like our $35 million Medical Examiner's Office ?

Likely more. $200 million plus building.

Taj Mahals are not cheap.

Definitely not cheap as he said, you have to have cylinder block walls and secure corridors for prisoners.

The normal rectangular prism blocks are a lot cheaper, but leave it to the government to specify cylinders...

It will be fun to see the design when it gets to that point. A few of the most recent federal courthouses built and renderings of the one pending in Chattanooga. Designs are all over the place. The San Antonio one actually looks like a building you'd find on the TAMU campus to me.

Des Moines


Flagstaff



Fort Lauderdale





San Antonio



Buffalo



LA



Chattanooga (Design)

The San Antonio one fits the vide of recent builds on campus. The Chattanooga one reminds me of the Shreveport federal courthouse. I just hope we get something better than the Plano federal courthouse.

All these designs are missing a sky bridge- we must have a sky bridge.

Please put the Don Adam building in the background. I really want it to go there.

Perfect for getting immediate injunctions issued every time we don't like a call.
