Functional Data Sheets

U.S. COURTS PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Page Intentionally Left Bank

The FDS are meant to be used as a guideline. It is essential that the A/E obtain additional information from the Courts, the General Services Administration (GSA), U.S.

Marshals Service, and other agencies to ensure the design appropriately responds to each agency’s prescribed requirements.

The FDS should be used in conjunction with other governmental facility standards and it is the responsibility of the A/E for the coordination and conformance with these standards as well as all applicable laws, codes and regulations.

Finishes indicated in the FDS 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, project stakeholders and budget. Further finish selection requirements can be found in the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR).

The information in the following room data sheets comes from the U.S. Courts Design Guide (USCDG)

– 2007, including revisions through June 2008 with revised Chapters 1,2,15,16 dated June 2016 unless noted otherwise. If any of the information presented in the FDS conflicts with the USCDG – 2007, the USCDG shall take precendence.
