Are these too familiar to you?

• cases that take forever to get to court
• standing room only on traffic days and first appearances
• cartons of files stacked in corridors
• no place to sequester witnesses
• no private rooms where attorneys and clients can confer
• no private assembly rooms for jurors
• delays and dangers getting prisoners to courtrooms · · ·

Then you should have a facility audit!

IT CAN HELP YOU by clarifying the opportunities and costs facing you in these and other important questions:

• What are your real court facility problems?
• What are your priorities?
• What are your workable options?
• Should you reorganize and renovate your existing facility?
• Should you expand on site, lease and renovate an existing building, or build a new courthouse?
• What are the comprehensive lifetime costs of owning and operating the courthouse?
• How does the existing facility influence the costs and effectiveness of the agencies it now houses?
• Should the existing courthouse hold only court agencies, only general government offices, or both?
• How much should you invest now to minimize lifetime facility costs?
• How can your architect find and use the information to do the best job?
• And how you can get answers before committing scarce design or construction funds?

LSC offers an up-to-date, fixed- price, version of services—facility (and security) audits—that have been assisting courts across the country for twenty-five years. Your audit will be conducted by an experienced and reliable facility consultant and will emphasize an on-site assessment of your court facility problems.

AN AUDIT INCLUDES: an on-site survey lasting up to one week including an exit briefing; and a written report presented about two weeks later. The report defines your problems and needs, describes and evaluates the significant choices, and and recommends a phased program of steps you can take to realize security improvements.
