The Dirksen Federal Courthouse will reopen Wednesday after “buildingwide system failures” prompted authorities to close the building Tuesday, delaying the trial of R&B star R. Kelly and other proceedings.
The announcement by U.S. District Court Clerk Thomas Bruton that the building would reopen did not specify which systems in the downtown courthouse failed, only that they “impacted the ability to open the building.” The building closure was announced late Monday as a result of “operational issues.”
