INTRODUCTION

This manual is the third in a series, the purpose of which is to document the speci-fi cations and requirements of U.S. Marshals Service projects under the control of the Judicial Security Systems (JSS) Team. Specifi cally, this manual governs the installation and design of electronic and physical security systems in Courts and Courts related facilities. It is part of the Requirements and Specifi cations for Special Purpose and Support Space (RSSPSS) series, and supplements the Interagency Security Committee ( ISC) Security Construction Criteria, U.S. Courts Design Guide ( USCDG), and the Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service ( PBS P100).

This manual includes descriptive design criteria, technical specifi cations, tables, legends, and drawings as fi eld guides. It is intended for anyone involved in the de-sign and installation of security systems for the Judicial Security Systems (JSS) Team of the U.S. Marshals Service ( USMS).

Specifi cally, Volume Three of the RSSPSS establishes requirements for physical and electronic security components controlled by JSS. The devices and security mea-sures discussed in this manual are located and deployed in non- USMS space in federal courthouse facilities. These are generally spaces for which the Judiciary pays “rent.” This space is separate and distinct from USMS space. Examples in-clude, but are not limited to: the main lobby and loading dock security screening posts, entrances to judicial chambers and related court functions, as well as all courtrooms, and public areas.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE Not For Construction Preface | Introduction | 9

There are 94 federal District courts in the United States and its territories. The USMS is the agency with the statutory responsibility for protecting all federal judges, and the transportation of federal prisoners. The Judicial Security Systems (JSS) Team and the Central Courthouse Management Group (CCMG), maintain primary respon-sibility for the security of federal court facilities.

The JSS Team plans, designs, installs, and maintains electronic and physical secu-rity systems designed to protect court proceedings, court offi cials, court chambers, and support areas occupied by the Judiciary. Protected space includes: U.S. Circuit, District, Magistrate, and Bankruptcy courtrooms; jury areas and chamber suites.

In addition, JSS secures services for Courts related support areas such as lobby screening stations, judicial parking, offi ces for the Clerk of the Court, court execu-tives, court reporters, libraries, Probation and Pretrial Services, as well as Federal Public Defenders. Protected spaces may also include adjacent corridors and judicial elevators when warranted.

The USMS does not specify security systems for the U.S. Attorney or U.S.

Trustee, or other Executive Branch agencies that do not fall under the Courts’ jurisdiction.

In addition, this manual does not address nor refl ect USMS Central Courthouse Management Group requirements or specifi cations. Those requirements are de-tailed in Volumes One, Two, Four and Five of the RSSPSS Manual.

The CCMG is responsible for the programming, planning, acquisition, budgeting, design, and construction of all USMS offi ce/support, special purpose, and parking space. Special purpose space includes detention cell blocks, secure prisoner circu-lation corridors, courtroom holding cells, prisoner/attorney interview rooms, prisoner elevator(s), vehicle sallyport(s), secure vehicle parking, fi tness areas, and the fi ring range in space for which the USMS pays “rent” (non-court space).

Early coordination between GSA, the judiciary, JSS, and CCMG is essential, and prevents expensive, unsightly retrofi ts, which may compromise facility security. JSS security specialists are assigned to each Circuit of Courts in the United States. Each JSS specialist is responsible for tracking court projects within their Circuit(s). Securi-ty Specialists serve as liaisons between District USMS offi ces and the Administrative Offi ce of the U.S. Courts ( AOUSC). They are responsible for ensuring court security requirements are incorporated properly, and with suffi cient funding.

10 | Preface | Introduction Not For Construction LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

Federal courthouse security is the joint responsibility of the judiciary, DHS Federal Protective Service ( FPS), and the USMS. Decisions regarding security planning and design are made by individual agencies and the local Court Security Committee (CSC), or for multi-tenant buildings, the Building Security Committee ( BSC).

The primary focus of this manual is on U.S. Courthouses. However, specifi c require-ments for leased space and offi ces can be found in this manual, under the relevant sections. All courthouse construction, security systems, and requirements must be in compliance with:

• AOUSC’s U.S. Courts Design Guide

• Design Notebook for Federal Building Lobby Security

• GSA’s Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service (PBS P100)

• ISC Security Construction Criteria, “Medium-High” level construction

COMMON COURTHOUSE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS

INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES

Lack of risers or conduit

Inadequate Pull Strings (drag lines) in conduit

Incorrect sizing of conduit/Incomplete conduit systems

Security cable and back boxes left unlabeled

Extremely long conduit runs without junction boxes (per NEC guidelines)

High and low voltage cable run in the same conduit/trough

Intercom and access control wire in the same conduit

Conduit run to the wrong location or routed incorrectly

Incorrectly sized back boxes installed at the wrong height with the wrong orientation

Inaccessible conduit and junction boxes

Junction box plates, cable trays and troughs missing/not provided/damaged

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS

Incorporating JSS requirements during the design phase ensures that infrastructure requirements are met in a timely manner.

GSA project managers should ensure that JSS and NSC infrastructure requirements have been carefully adhered to.

Close coordination between the electrical subcontractor and the NSC ensures the conduit specified in the design is installed. JSS conduit must not exceed a maximum fill rate of 40%.

The installation contractor is responsible for labeling security cable. This ensures field devices are terminated efficiently, and allows for easier trouble shooting.

The GSA project manager should verify that the electrical contractor follows this key NEC requirement.

Separate troughs should be specified to the electrical contractor, per NEC requirements.

When calculating conduit requirements, separate conduit for intercom and access control must be accounted for.

Project managers should be aware of this common problem and promote frequent coordination between the NSC and the electrical contractor to prevent this mistake.

Back box specifications are found in this manual and can also be obtained from the NSC. Including JSS during the concept phase can help avoid this problem.

GSA project manager should ensure that subcontractors understand the importance of not blocking access to conduit and junction boxes.

GSA project manager and NSC should work closely with the electrical contractor to ensure all security infrastructure is installed correctly and completely.

12 | Preface | Common Courthouse Construction Problems Not For Construction LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS

JSS requires a minimum of 32 square feet of wall space, with 2 feet standing room in front. Four duplex electrical outlets are necessary for each closet. These and other requirements outlined on pages 35 – 37 ensure that JSS equipment can be installed properly and in a timely manner

JSS is the only security consultant necessary. If an external security consultant is retained, then they must adhere to JSS’ requirements and specifications. Failure to do so can cause significant delays.

GSA should ensure all components of a vehicle control system (including but not limited to: roll up doors, loops, gate arms, and traffic lights) are functional, work in concert, and are supplied by a single vendor. JSS is solely responsible for the device that initiates sequencing, usually a card reader.

Coordinating with JSS during the concept phase will help ensure security requirements are met early on.

The vendor should install, test, and wire electrical lock devices to a junction box above the door, and keep JSS/NSC informed of progress; furnish door hardware schedule to JSS & NSC.

The electrical contractor should address this topic during construction meetings with the NSC and the GSA project manager.

The project manager should ensure security closets are not “forgotten” and are completed as quickly as possible. Cable trays should be utilized as much as possible. Fire rated plywood must be installed per JSS specifications before security infrastructure can be installed.

INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES

Inadequate wall space and standing room in telephone/ communications closet

Over design by private security consultants

Inoperable vehicle barrier systems/lack of coordination between subcontractors, general contractor, GSA, JSS, NSC

Screening station design/re-design at late dates

Inoperable door hardware/NSC not supplied with a schedule

Infrastructure not ready for NSC to begin work as scheduled

Security closets not ready for wiring or security equipment, causing installation delays

A successful courthouse construction project is one where all project stake-holders coordinate and communicate frequently. During the project phase, including JSS will ensure security requirements do not cause project delays.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE Not For Construction Preface | Common Courthouse Construction Problems | 13

PROJECT RESPONSIBILITIES

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Blueprint Submissions

GSA’s design team is responsible for submitting fl oorplans to JSS for review and approval. These drawings should clearly detail the placement of judicial security hardware devices, conduit, back boxes, and connections to the building’s emer-gency power source.

An electronic copy of CAD drawings must be submitted to JSS at each review phase.

All courthouse security plans, drawings, and specifi cations prepared for construc-tion or renovation must have imprinted on each page of the drawings: Property of the United States Government: Limited Offi cial Use.

Construction drawings, plans, and specifi cations detailing security equipment and design are to be disseminated only to those requiring information necessary for design, construction bidding, construction coordination, or other GSA procurement competition processes.

Security Infrastructure Installation

The GSA and their contractor is responsible for the installation of all infrastructure necessary for JSS security equipment hardware. This includes, but is not limited to:

door hardware conduit systems with appropriately sized pull strings, mounting and back boxes, cable trays, and electrical power. All conduit wiring, and associated junction and back boxes, shall be concealed within walls, fl oors, and/or ceilings.

Once installed, work must be accepted as satisfactory by JSS.

Security hardware includes all metal detectors, x-ray systems, turnstiles, intercoms, duress alarm devices, access control systems, intrusion detection devices, CCTV, and other ancillary equipment necessary for the protection of the judiciary.

14 | Preface | Project Responsibilities / General Security Requirements Not For Construction LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Once selected to design a federal courthouse, A/E representatives should contact JSS to receive guidance on security system and design requirements. Early coordination, during the design development phase saves time and resources by eliminating re-dundancies and errors. There are however, some standards that JSS and GSA share.

The following guidelines are established in GSA publication PBS P100 and should be strictly adhered to:

CAD Standards

The National CAD/CIFM Standards should be obtained via the Internet at www.gsa.gov/pbs/cifm/cifm_resources/standards.htm or by contacting the PBS CAD center at (202) 501-9094. These guidelines should be followed for all CAD drawing formatting. Regional CAD standards are available through the Regional CAD Coordi-nator and are considered supplements to the national standards.

Drawing Lettering

Lettering on all drawings must be legible when drawings are reduced to half-size. This applies to concept and design development drawings as well as construction drawings.

Construction of Courthouse Space

GSA is responsible for the construction of space, door hardware (manual and elec-tronic), glazing, and physical barriers, to meet necessary security standards.

Door Hardware

All door hardware should meet the requirements of NFPA 101. This includes but is not limited to doors equipped with electronic access control systems or delayed egress locks.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE Not For Construction Preface | Project Responsibilities / General Security Requirements | 15

Ventilation

Mechanical system diffusers and grills in public and staff areas must be tamper-proof, particularly in areas which provide some degree of seclusion and privacy (restrooms, attorney-client visitation rooms, etc.)

Fire Detection

GSA is responsible for providing, inspecting, and testing all fi re detection and pro-tection systems, including fi re department building access and control, and public address systems.

Back Box Specifications

The GSA General Contractor is responsible for installing double gang back boxes (GBB) for all JSS Security hardware, unless otherwise noted. Double gang back box-es with single gang mud rings are the standard for Court space. Back boxes must be fl ush mounted at ADA height specifi cations, along with any required conduit and/ or power requirements. The USMS Nationwide Security Contractor is responsible for providing and installing the security hardware. If special back boxes are necessary, the USMS NSC will supply them to the General Contractor for installation.

A 120 VAC electrical outlet (connected to the emergency circuit) may be required for a particular piece of security equipment at the mounting location. If required, it will be noted on either the USMS Design Intent Drawings or during the review/ comments phase of the project. In such instances, the outlet should be mounted immediately adjacent to the back or mounting box required for the specifi c piece of security equipment.

As it branches off main conduit, the size of the conduit that terminates at the back or mounting box of each individual piece of security equipment, should be decreased as required.

Power

The General Contractor (GC) is responsible for ensuring all JSS power (which must be connected to the building’s emergency power supply) requirements are met.

In addition, conduit for signal cable runs (from device to designated monitoring location[s]) for all fi eld panels, perimeter CCTV cameras, electric strikes, and other security devices designated by JSS, are the responsibility of GSA.

16 | Preface | Project Responsibilities / General Security Requirements Not For Construction LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE Not For Construction Preface | Project Responsibilities / General Security Requirements | 17

Fiber Optic Cable

Some facilities may require the use of fi ber optic cabling in lieu of copper or other wire. The decision to use fi ber optics will be made by JSS.

System Accommodations

GSA must provide conduit, closets, and raceways for communications, security, and computer systems.

Lighting

Per PBS P100, GSA shall provide, “standard, emergency, backup, clean and pre-defi ned electrical power needs, including battery powered lights.”

Perimeter Security

The integrity of the judicial process requires that adequate security services be pro-vided to the federal courts. The Federal Protective Service ( FPS), the Administrative Offi ce of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) and the USMS share the responsibility for secur-ing federal courts facilities.

The Judicial Security Systems Team serves as the USMS liaison to the FPS. All pe-rimeter security initiatives will refl ect the most current Memorandum of Understand-ing reached between the two agencies. JSS Specialists should be contacted with any questions or initiatives requiring FPS involvement.

Elevator Travel Cables

Security system travel cables must be installed by GSA for every elevator to ac-commodate the installation of security equipment. Travel cables with 50% spare capacity should be installed regardless of whether there is corresponding security equipment. This ensures there is adequate infrastructure to accommodate future renovations and installations.

USMS RESPONSIBILITIES AND

THE NATIONWIDE SECURITY CONTRACTOR

The USMS retains at all times a Nationwide Security Contractor (NSC). The NSC is responsible for the installation and maintenance of all USMS security systems within the court facility. The USMS Nationwide Security Contractor is required to provide fully operational security systems 15 days prior to the facility occupancy date, pro-vided the installation of security closets, security infrastructure, and the command and control room are complete.

Representatives with substantial training and knowledge will be provided for a mini-mum of three consecutive working days to demonstrate equipment and instruct the District USMS, JSS, and other designated personnel in the operation, repair, and maintenance of security systems.

The Nationwide Security Contractor is responsible for any damage to buildings caused by the installation of security equipment.

The Nationwide Security Contractor is responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

• Preparing pre-installation plans from the Statement of Works (SOW) supplied by JSS.

• Meeting with USMS District personnel at pre-construction planning conferences and design meetings, when requested by JSS. In both renovation and new con-struction projects, all available information must be utilized in the preparation of the SOW by JSS and the pre-installation plan by the NSC.

• Performing the following work at the request of JSS. This task list may be ex-panded to meet the needs of the USMS:

• Developing equipment installation engineering plans and schedules

• Assisting JSS in the development of the most effi cient, cost-effective, and operationally sound methods for accomplishing the intended security goals.

• Providing hardware and software as specifi ed by JSS

• Installing hardware and software as specifi ed by JSS

JSS will provide the Nationwide Security Contractor with annotated architectural plans by GSA to develop an installation plan in areas of buildings where the Courts pay “rent.”

Submittals by the Nationwide Security Contractor should include:

• As-built single line wiring diagrams for the entry operating systems, locking devices, and monitoring systems.

• Maintenance and operation manuals, including complete information covering items of equipment and operation.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE Not For Construction Preface | Project Responsibilities / General Security Requirements | 19

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR

NEW COURTHOUSES AND MAJOR RENOVATIONS

The following requirements are highlighted as part of an overview of this book:

• This manual is an integral component of GSA’s architectural and engineering (A/E) fi rms schematic, design development, and construction documents, including the construction specifi cations (e.g. SFO bid documents) for new court-houses and major renovations.

• Judicial security hardware is defi ned as all metal detectors, x-ray systems, explosives detectors, turnstiles, intercoms, duress alarm devices, access con-trol systems, intrusion detection devices, CCTV, and other ancillary equip-ment necessary to protect the judicial family and Courts proceedings. The Federal Protective Service ( FPS) and JSS share responsibility for provid-ing exterior perimeter security. This includes cameras, door contacts, glass break detectors, and other security equipment required to secure buildings from intrusion.

• GSA’s A&E team is responsible for providing riser and horizontal run conduit diagrams for the electronic security systems, access control systems, electrical locking devices, and monitoring systems. These engineering drawings should be submitted to the Judicial Security Systems team for review and approval, and adhere to the JSS symbol legend. (See pages 6 and 7)

• JSS is the offi cial security consultant for all courts space in U.S. federal court-houses. If external security consultants assist the design team with the size and placement of conduit and back boxes, or design electrical systems, they must do so only after reviewing infrastructure requirements established by the JSS spe-cialist. Security equipment placement, quantity, and type are the sole responsibil-ity of the JSS specialist. Security consultants hired by GSA must adhere to the requirements and specifi cations established in this manual or those specifi ed by the JSS specialist.

• GSA is responsible for coordinating with JSS staff on device locations, power, and all other security system requirements installed by the USMS Nationwide Security Contractor (NSC).

• All courthouse perimeter security must meet the requirements specifi ed in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities (Level IV) buildings), and the Interagency Security Criteria ( ISC) “medium-high” level construction.

20 | Preface | General Requirements for New Courthouses and Major Renovations Not For Construction LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

• Since the USMS may be responsible for on-site monitoring systems, perimeter security, and non-judiciary and judiciary related tenants, JSS may require all se-curity systems, including those of FPS, be integrated into the USMS Command and Control Center. Security systems monitored by the USMS typically include intrusion alarms, duress alarm devices, electronic access controls, CCTV, court-room and isolation cell audio/ video, video switching, and recording systems.

• Landscaping must not obstruct the views of security personnel, CCTV cameras, or compromise security, and must take into account long term growth.

• All conduit, wiring, and associated junction and back boxes must be concealed within walls, fl oors, or ceilings in public and offi ce space areas. Concealment may not be required for parking areas.

• The HVAC systems must be designed according to requirements established by the Interagency Security Criteria, PBS P100 and other governing documents for courthouse construction, unless otherwise stated in this manual. These standards are designed to avoid heat buildup in utility closets that house the microproces-sors (“panels”) for electronic security systems, as well as the rooms in which the security systems control panel and monitoring (“headend”) components are placed. Headend rooms include those in which the systems’ Command Console is located and any nearby supporting equipment “rack” rooms or closets. Air conditioning units in Command and Control Rooms should be separate from the building’s main HVAC system, and be capable of 24 hour operation.

• In order to protect against the introduction of biological or chemical contami-nants into the courthouse, ventilation system intakes should not be located below the third fl oor in new buildings. In one and two story buildings, the air intake systems should be roof-mounted if possible. Air intakes should not be placed in the garage area. Exhaust plenums must be strategically placed in or-der to ensure they do not affect evacuation routes or designated safe areas for evacuated employees. Emergency shut down capabilities of the air intake system should closely follow those established in the ISC, and PBS P100.

• Selected lighting fi xtures, as determined by building code, must provide an unin-terrupted source of lighting in the event of a power failure. Emergency lighting in courtrooms should not spotlight judges’ benches, or the judges’ egress path.

• Any lighting device requiring an uninterruptible power supply should be equipped with an integral battery backup module and be connected to the facility’s emer-gency generator. The battery module should provide a minimum of 60 minutes of power at the device in the event of an emergency generator failure.

• Power outlets specifi cally provided for the console and electronics rack compo-nents (all cameras, monitors, intercoms, access control, and safety and security devices in the USMS Command and Control Center) should be connected to the building’s backup emergency generator, without exception. In addition, the Com-mand and Control Room must be equipped with emergency lighting.

• Some vaults and secure storage areas will be equipped with a keypad alarm shunt, vault door contact, a motion detector, and a duress alarm device con-nected to the USMS Command and Control Center. Should these measures be required, provision must be made for 24/7 USMS monitoring of these devices.

• Door hardware is the responsibility of GSA. All door hardware should allow for NFPA 101 requirements to be met.

• District USMS representatives will coordinate the development of the keying schedule for door hardware installed in a new or renovated facility, in conjunction with GSA and the Courts.

• FPS is responsible for security in out-lease spaces, such as vending cashiers/ATMs/credit unions and contract vending machine areas located in courthouses.

• All currently applicable federal and national codes, including electrical and life safety, must be adhered to in the design of judicial security systems, as admin-istered by the GSA. If there are confl icts in federal code provisions and require-ments, the more stringent requirements will prevail.

• GSA must ensure that the USMS Nationwide Security Contractor (NSC) has unlimited access to the courthouse construction site at least 90 days prior to the opening of small facilities (fi ve or fewer courtrooms), 120 – 150 days prior to the opening of medium facilities (six to 10 courtrooms), and 180 days prior to the opening of large facilities (11 or more courtrooms). This timeline is to ensure security devices, including cabling, are installed in an effi cient manner, become operational, and are tested before building occupancy. It is recommended that the USMS Nationwide Security Contractor be contractually involved as early as 365 days prior to the opening of extra large facilities (20 courtrooms or more).

Early collaboration with the NSC is a required component of GSA’s SFO and/or contract documents for each facility, and ensures any labor union requirements are met. If these timelines are not met, then JSS and the NSC will not be held liable for unscheduled overages.

• References to specifi c manufacturers and brands of devices should not be construed as USMS endorsement of those products. Rather, these devices are listed to provide guidance on the type of devices required. Substitution from the devices specifi ed in JSS statements of work to an equivalent device must be approved by JSS in writing, prior to installation. JSS is responsible for providing the design team and contractors with data on all approved electronic security devices, hardware, and barrier systems. In addition, JSS will provide vendor lit-erature and the size and type of each device, upon request.

• The A/E fi rm selected by GSA, and any security consultant retained by GSA, must use the security symbols listed in the legend of this manual. This require-ment must be incorporated into GSA’s SFO and/or contract documents for each facility. If a particular symbol does not exist, an appropriate new symbol may be created. However, the new symbol must be approved in advance by JSS.

• It is recommended separate drawings for security systems and conduit be provided by the A/E to JSS.

The Project Management Plan

The GSA project manager should share the project plan with members of the Courts and the Judicial Security Systems specialist as soon as possible. Coordinating with the USMS will ensure the success of the project in the long run. In addition, early coordination will ensure the specifi c objectives and responsibilities of the USMS are met without costly and time consuming retrofi ts or change orders.

Effective Design Reviews Add Value by Saving Time and Money

The Design Phase of a project typically begins once a statement of work and pre-ferred design approach have been developed. From the schematic, the design matures into fi nal construction documents consisting of plans and specifi cations.

This then facilitates the solicitation of equipment procurement bids. Comprehensive and accurate design and construction documents reduce project and construction costs. Areas of savings include less rework on the part of the construction contractor, fewer change orders to the owner for correction of design errors or omissions, and reduced costs associated with belatedly adding features that should have been ad-dressed in the original design. Additional savings can be achieved by avoiding costs associated with lower productivity during construction delays. In short, effective de-sign reviews reduce the probability of errors associated with miscommunication.

Importance of Including JSS as a Project Stakeholder

Early coordination with the USMS and the Courts can be critical to the success of a courthouse construction project. Once notifi ed, the Judicial Security Systems team will coordinate design and infrastructure requirements from power, cables, and conduit, to lobby screening stations, perimeter, and circulation design. JSS security specialists have the ultimate authority on security equipment and design of Courts space.

USMS COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTER

DESCRIPTION

The USMS Command and Control Center (one per site or complex) is the central monitoring and control station for courthouse surveillance equipment and other se-curity communication and detection devices under the purview of the USMS. It is part of the restricted circulation system and should allow direct access from the squad room. It is adjacent to the main detention cell block, USMS computer room, JSS security equipment room, and prisoner elevator. In small facilities, the USMS Command and Control Center may be a dedicated area within the squad room.

Specifi c construction requirements for this space are discussed in Volumes I and II of the USMS RSSPSS Manual.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

• No door to the USMS Command and Control Center may open directly to the secure circulation area.

• In courthouse-only facilities, the Command and Control Center shall be the pri-mary command center for all building security systems.

• A security console occupies the bulk of the room. The console and CCTV moni-tors must be arranged in such a manner that enables easy and rapid observa-tion. Installation technicians should not install equipment that obstructs the view through the vision panel.

• A security equipment room adjacent to the Command and Control Room may be required in larger buildings for “headend” equipment racks. A dedicated room size with a minimum of 10' x 20' may be set aside for this purpose.

ARCHITECTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

The USMS Command and Control Center net area will vary according to the size and confi guration of the facility. In small courthouses, it should be a minimum of 320 sf (30m2) (20' x 16'), in medium courthouses a minimum of 400 sf (37m2) (20' x 20'), and in large courthouses, it shall be a minimum of 600 sf (56m2) (20' x 30').
