New Jersey’s Judiciary Guidelines are over a decade old. The Judiciary is collaborating with HOK to re-imagine their Guidelines and develop a document that improves useability and incorporates best practices for court facility planning and design. The document sets forth the New Jersey Judiciary’s requirements for the design, construction and renovation of court facilities. The document is intended for use by judges, court executives and administrators, architects, engineers, county commissions, and others who are involved in the planning, design, and construction of these facilities. The document is organized around six chapters. The chapters describe the New Jersey Court system and the process and expectations around budgeting, planning and project delivery within the State. The document also provides an overview of building design objectives explaining desired operational strategies and associated spatial requirements. To enhance the useability of the document and provide users with a greater understanding of building requirements, room data sheets are being developed. These room data sheets will outline spatial requirements, building systems and equipment to be located in the space, as well as finish and furniture expectations.
The document is in draft format currently and anticipated to be completed in Winter 2022/ 2023.
