As this building will be vacant by 2017 , as the various departments and court functions relocate to newer facilities , Pima County is planning to convert the historic Courthouse to museum space . The county is in discussions with the University of Arizona and the Tucson Museum of Art to house exhibits ; there will be a new café , and a memorial to the victims of the 2011 Tucson shooting that seriously wounded then-U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords
