The Library is based on three floors of ascending ramps. The Constitutional Court is the flagship building on Constitution Hill. It juxtaposes itself with the Old Fort, the Women’s Section and the particularly notorious Number Four Prison, formerly referred to as the Native Gaol. The old Awaiting Trial Block had to be dismantled to make way for the new building and create space for Constitution Square. Four of its staircases, however, have been retained and its bricks have been reused in various parts of the new building. The whole area known as Constitution Hill, has been developed as a place of encounter between densely populated and frenetic Hillbrow, leafy and affluent Parktown and bureaucratic Braamfontein.
