U.S. Courthouse dedicated in honor of former Congressman Ralph Regula

On July 16, approximately 200 people gathered in Canton, Ohio for the outdoor dedication ceremony of the Ralph Regula Federal Building and United States Courthouse at the corner of McKinley Avenue and Third Street Southwest. In attendance were J. David Hood, Acting Regional Administrator, U.S. General Services Administration, The Honorable William J. Healy II, Mayor of Canton, The Honorable Russ Kendig, Judge, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Ohio, Robert K. Mullen, Aultman Health Foundation & former District Director to former Representative Regula and The Honorable Ralph Regula, former U.S. Representative, Ohio’s 16th District. Dr. Rustom Khouri, President and CEO of Carnegie Management and Development Corporation gave an eloquent speech at the dedication ceremony.

Carnegie Management and Development Corporation constructed the 45,000 square foot structure which houses the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, clerk’s office, the U.S. Trustee program, U.S. Marshal’s service, Social Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service. Two brick buildings connect the 34-foot high glass-atrium lobby. The entire eastern side of the building is made of high windows that let in sunlight and a view of McKinley Avenue. The building was designed so the lobby would face toward the heart of downtown Canton. John Crook, Carnegie’s in-house architect, said “designers ensured its unique architecture; design and color would complement the surrounding area.”
