Kimme, Master Planning/Programming <br />D. Bostwick, Programming/Design/Security Specifications <br /> <br />Project Description: <br />· This was a joint project of two counties brought together by Kimme & <br />Associates as a result of separate clients recognized by K&A to have similar <br />needs. <br />· The objective of the joint effort was to meet individual county needs more <br />effectively and economically than possible through separate projects. <br />· The counties actually share ownership of the facilities rather than participate in a <br />more typical rental relationship. <br />· The facility includes juvenile courts, juvenile probation, juvenile state's attorney, <br />juvenile court clerk, and juvenile detention (100 beds) on a new site. The <br />detention facilities are those that are shared. The justice facilities serve the needs <br />of Will County only. <br />· Two modem courtrooms with a secure path from the detention center were <br />designed. <br />· Separate, securely accessed offices with conference and interview capabilities are <br />provided for the State's Attorney's office and Probation. <br />· The Clerks' facilities are easily accessed from the lobby and the courtrooms. <br />· A single, secure public lobby serves all of the court-related functions. <br />· The public lobby connects to a separate juvenile detention waiting lobby. <br />· All detention housing is single occupancy in a pod remote setting <br />· A staff monitored "program commons" not only provides ample education and <br />program space but provides teacher and service provider security. <br />· The program commons includes a fully equipped computer lab. <br />
