The six-year renovation of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse at 40 Foley Square is nearing completion at a time when space is needed to accommodate a record number of federal judges in lower Manhattan.
Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will hear its first oral arguments in the courthouse since the judges moved to temporary quarters across the street at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse at 500 Pearl St. in December 2006, and the first of several Southern District judges will join their circuit colleagues in a building that has been completely rewired, relit and resecured.
