About this file

This document is Exhibit C3 from the U.S. Courts Design Guide (Revised 2021), specifically the Appendix containing Room Data Sheets that establish spatial and programmatic requirements for various courthouse spaces.

The Room Data Sheets provide detailed architectural specifications, finishes, security classifications, and fixture/furniture requirements for general courthouse spaces and specialized court areas. General courthouse spaces include soundlocks (80 NSF), storage rooms (50-80 NSF), workstations (64 NSF), private offices (100-240 NSF), vaults (20-150 NSF), conference rooms (300 NSF reduced to 240 NSF), staff break rooms (200-600 NSF), printer/copier areas (50-120 NSF), and work areas (195 NSF minimum). Specialized spaces address courtrooms such as Bankruptcy Judge Courtrooms (1,800 NSF) with security features including CCV cameras, duress alarms, and ballistic-resistant materials; associated courtroom spaces including public waiting areas (400 NSF) and attorney/witness rooms (150 NSF); judges' chambers suites for magistrate and circuit judges (240-400 NSF) with reception areas and private toilets; and clerks' office spaces including public counters (100-250 NSF), pay copier stations, records exam areas (100-180 NSF), queuing areas, FAC ID rooms (64 NSF), and computer training rooms (200-300 NSF). Each space specification includes security levels (ranging from Public 1-3 to Secure 1-2), ceiling heights, acoustical requirements (NIC ratings), required finishes (wall, floor, base, ceiling materials), illumination standards in footcandles, mechanical systems, and security equipment such as card readers, intercoms, and emergency systems. The guide emphasizes that these specifications are guidelines requiring coordination with the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, GSA, and United States Marshals Service for final design confirmation.

GTStrang Text Box Refer to full US Courts Design Guide 2021, except herein as noted adaptation for Agency Space Requirements for RLP XXXXXX.

Where noted, refer to the ASR Exhibit - Room List (Room-by-Room Requirement Summary) for room finishes. Refer to Room-by-Room Requirement Summary for quantities and special requirements. Red text on the room data sheets denotes deleted (strike through), alternative and/or minimum room requirements.

Net square feet represents the actual occupied area of a floor, not including accessory unoccupied areas (stairs, elevator and HVAC shafts, mechanical rooms, etc.) or the thickness of walls. US Courts Design Guide circulation factors are modified in this ASR to derive the USF, or ABOA.

Notes about proposals for reuse of existing tenant improvement, finishes or systems: If existing carpet is proposed, then min acceptable alternative is defined as carpet less than 2 yrs and unaffected by new alterations, delivered professionally cleaned, and acceptable compatible with proposed new finishes.

Room Data Sheets | A-2

General Notes:

• The graphics on the RDS are not to scale and are for illustrative purposes only.

• The RDS are meant to be used as a guideline. It is essential that the user obtain additional information from the court, the General Services Administration (GSA), and other participants and users to tailor the design response to the specific court requirements.

• The RDS should be used in conjunction with other facility design standards including but not limited to: The U.S. Courts Design Reference Manual and applicable GSA

PBS P-100.

• The interpretation and application of the information provided in the RDS into specific design solutions will require the overall review & confirmation of the design by the court, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC), the GSA, and the United States Marshals Service (USMS).

• The design architect is responsible for the coordination and conformance with the

Design Guide, and all applicable laws, codes regulations, and governmental facility standards.

• Finishes indicated on the RDS show a range of acceptable finishes per space;

however, this list should not be considered comprehensive. Final finish selection should be determined by the design architect and project stakeholders.

• Fixtures, furniture, and equipment (FFE) requirements should be determined on a project-to-project basis to satisfy the local needs. FFE shown on the graphics is notional and should not be considered comprehensive.

• Furniture, accessories, and equipment indicated with an asterisk (*) is funded by

GSA.

• Furniture shown in the RDS are general guidelines of potential layouts. Final furniture design and procurement will be determined by individual project requirements.
