Samet teamed up with Balfour and Beatty to deliver and brand new 250,679 SF courthouse for Forsyth County, 50% larger than its predecessor. The project incorporated the addition of 18 advanced judicial spaces, including courtrooms and hearing rooms, specifically designed to ensure a streamlined working environment for staff and visitors alike. We made it a priority to create a high-security environment through comprehensive checkpoints, card access systems, and innovative surveillance tools.

Furthermore, the renovation saw the inclusion of a unique design element: an underground tunnel to facilitate the safe and secure transport of inmates from the Forsyth County Jail. With these upgrades, the Forsyth County Courthouse is not only geared toward efficiency but also towards providing a space that is safe, secure, and convenient for all its users.
