Three glass panels at the downtown Superior Court have shattered since May, forcing court officials to construct a protective canopy around all four sides of the 22-story building to protect pedestrians.
On three separate occasions since May, tempered glass panels at the downtown state courthouse have shattered, forcing court officials to construct a canopy around the high-rise building to protect people on the sidewalks below.
The state Judicial Council, the policymaking arm of the judicial branch that constructed and owns the building, is investigating what caused the breaks. In the email, Smyth and Roddy wrote there could be several possible causes, such as “impacts, impurities in the glass, high temperatures or other causes.”
The window fell out sometime before Aug. 8, with the glass falling eight floors to what he described as an interior rooftop service area courtyard on the fourth floor. No glass landed on the street or sidewalk below in any of the incidents. At the entrance to the San Diego Central Courthouse on Tuesday, a hole can be seen in the upper floors from a window that had shattered.
