Building Type Basics for Justice Facilities provides in-depth information that is essential to initiate designs for a variety of justice facilities, including law enforcement, adult detention, courts, corrections, juvenile and family justice, and multi-occupancy facilities. Filled with project photos, diagrams, floor plans, sections, and details, it combines in-depth coverage of the structural, mechanical, energy, cost information, safety, and security issues that are unique to justice facilities with the nuts-and-bolts design guidelines that will start the project off on the right track and keep it there through completion. Building Type Basics for Justice Facilities is a one-stop source for the essential information architects, engineers, and facility planners need to quick-start the design process. In this book, two of America's leading experts on justice facilities architecture and planning share their knowledge on issues essential to the design of six key building types: law enforcement, adult detention, courts, corrections, juvenile and family justice facilities, and multi-occupancy facilities.
They also explore key trends that are driving the planning and design of today's and tomorrow's justice facilities, including increased demands for flexibility, information technology, and accessibility. Highlighting numerous innovative justice facility projects of the past few years, including the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse in Portland, Oregon and the Elgin Law Enforcement Facility in Elgin, Illinois, this book provides critical information on the process, potential problems, and unique design concerns for justice facilities. It also offers extensive coverage of lighting and acoustics; selection of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems; internal traffic; specialty systems unique to justice facilities; and such economic factors as costs and financing.
