Closure of Oregon Supreme Court Building
As you may have already heard, Oregon’s historic Supreme Court Building will be closing in November of this year for an extensive renovation project. The building will likely be closed for approximately two years, during which time major upgrades will be made to modernize the structure and ensure its long term continued use.
Most offices currently held within the courthouse will be moved to other locations in Salem, and Supreme Court and Court of Appeals arguments will be heard at other venues, including at the Justice Building across the street.
