The U.S Courthouse in Cedar Rapids, designed by OPN Architects and William Rawn Associates, was honored this week by the American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Justice. The courthouse, which opened in 2012, was one of eight recipients of the Justice Facilities Review award, which honors justice facilities that demonstrate thoughtful, beautiful and functional solutions to complex justice design issues, according to a release. OPN was the architect of record on the project, funds for which became available after President George W. Bush toured Cedar Rapids in the wake of the Floods of 2008.
