Master Plan & Update

Gage County Courthouse

In 2008, Berggren Architects was hired to create a master plan report, documenting existing conditions at the Gage County Courthouse. During the initial investigation, principal architect Jerry Berggren compiled 14 recommendations for long-term preservation of the courthouse. The master plan was followed by a construction cost estimate of $8.8 million.

Following the completion of the master plan, Gage County hired Berggren Architects in 2009 to provide full scope of services for 9 of the 14 recommendations. Our work included improvements to the fire suppression, fire alarm, heating and A/C, electrical, and lighting systems. The project also included the re-roofing of the entire courthouse, new damp-proofing around the entire courthouse foundation, and the replacement of existing windows. This project was completed in 2011.
