Gary Courthouse Podium

We continue to work with the Lake County Superior Courts on their Technology upgrades in all their courtrooms. The Gary Superior Courthouse, built in 1927, is the first to receive a podium that reflects historic woodwork. The podium is designed to fit all the digital upgrades: printer, ELMO projector on full-extension locking slides, and wiring concealed behind a removable panel. The framework for the podium stayed the same as our original design, the front and sides were altered to reflect the details found throughout the courtroom. The rich cherry finish and antique brown granite help to blend the new podium seamlessly into the courtroom. The finishing touch to the podium is a hand-carved, hand painted State Seal of Indiana.
