The Government of Alberta called for a public-private partnership to construct a 73 courtroom, C$300M, one million square feet courthouse.

The final design features two towers connected by a 26-storey atrium. Glass elevators with catwalk-like bridges connect the towers, creating elevator lobbies and people-gathering spaces. Kasian worked closely with many user groups in the planning and design of the offices, lounges, libraries and other court facilities. The easterly block will maintain the historic sandstone building, and become a major civic park. The centre was designed to LEED® Silver certification standards.
