Courthouses and courtrooms vary greatly in type and design. They have very specialized requirements and involve close coordination with judges and court administrators.

Security, including screening of entries, restriction of public access, limited access to the judiciary, courtroom security, jury isolation, and prisoner transport, is of primary concern. Technology is playing an ever increasing role in courthouse and courtroom design.

Support areas are essential components for full functionality. Circulation systems, lobbies, public functions, food services, jury assembly rooms, clerks, law libraries, attorney/client conference rooms, prosecuting and defense attorney workrooms and prisoner holding areas are all critical design elements.
