Hornberger + Worstell completed programming and architectural services for the renovation of the historic Old Solano Courthouse in Fairfield, California. Originally designed by E.C. Hemmings in 1911, this two-story, 29,900-square-foot courthouse is an outstanding example of Beaux Arts architecture and is part of the Central Solano County Heritage Commission’s inventory of “Lasting Heritage” buildings. Hornberger + Worstell’s work included a full rehabilitation of the historic building, including seismic, mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, telecommunications, and accessibility upgrades.
