Birmingham Magistrates' Court is a proposed £80m court building in Birmingham, United Kingdom, currently in the design stage. It is located on the Masshouse redevelopment site, in the Eastside area of the city.
Design is being undertaken by architects Denton Corker Marshall with engineers Mott MacDonald providing structural, building services, façade and fire engineering services. [cite news|url=http://www.mottmac.com/newsandpublications/newslist/?id=49108 |title=Mott MacDonald appointed on design team for new Birmingham Magistrates' Courts |last=Galal |first=Moya |coauthors=Dewey, Stephanie |date=2008-03-20 |publisher=Mott MacDonald |accessdate=2008-09-20] This is the same team which designed Manchester Civil Justice Centre, also for Her Majesty's Courts Service.
The 15 storey building will have a floor area of approximately convert|20000|m2|sqft|0 and will house 24 magistrates courts. The façade is envisaged as a flowing wave like combination of aluminium and glass, with no sharp corners. This is somewhat similar to the famous façade at the Birmingham branch of Selfridges at the Bullring shopping centre.
The building is expected to be completed and occupied before the end of 2012. [cite news|url=http://www.dentoncorkermarshall.com/news_detail.aspx?language=English&view=61 |title=New British court win |date=2008-02-19 |publisher=Denton Corker Marshall |accessdate=2008-09-20]
