Spartanburg was founded as a "courthouse village," a spot chosen solely to locate a courthouse for frontier disputes. The current courthouse remains the center of town today.
The size of the new Courthouse is approximately 340,000 sq. ft., which is more than 3 times the size of the current courthouse and equivalent to nearly 6 football fields.
The $120 million Courthouse is 6 stories and 124' tall.
The new Courthouse has 713 total rooms, including 17 courtrooms.
There are 996 doors and 138 windows in the new Courthouse.
The Capital Penny Projects will support 1,839 jobs.
The Penny Projects have an expected economic impact of about $240 million, including $60 million from visitors.
The total number of pre-cast panels on the outside of the new Courthouse is 1101. Some panels weigh as much as 50,000 pounds.
There is 82 miles of cabling inside the new Courthouse.
The wood used on the Courthouse job site was sourced from Camaroon in Africa.
