The expansion of the historic Geauga County Courthouse in Chardon Square required seamlessly connecting a modern 22,000+ square-foot addition to the original 1869 structure. The project aimed to preserve architectural integrity while modernizing building infrastructure for future use.
Geauga Mechanical was tasked with delivering mechanical systems that respected the historic character of the building while integrating modern performance standards.
Bridging two centuries of construction required extraordinary precision. The exterior architecture had to match the original sandstone façade, while mechanical systems needed to integrate without compromising the fragile structure of the 150-year-old courthouse.
The building remained fully operational throughout construction, requiring:
Geauga Mechanical coordinated system upgrades to modernize the courthouse while maintaining continuous operations.
Our team:
Through careful planning and coordination, we ensured that old and new systems functioned seamlessly together.
