Subject: Project Synopsis

Building History:

The Edward T. Gignoux Federal Courthouse is a large historic three-story courthouse located in

downtown Portland, Maine. The building was constructed in two phases, the original building in

1911 and a large addition in 1931-1932.

Executive Summary:

The project scope of work is to provide an updated and improved galley/kitchenette for the

United States Marshals Service (USMS) at the Edward T. Gignoux Federal Courthouse. The work will consist of the removal and replacement of the existing floor finishes and cabinetry, as well as the inclusion of additional cabinetry and the relocation of the existing floor/wall mounted
