COURTHOUSE RENOVATION AND CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE SETS NEW DATES
New Conference Scheduled for May 2003 in Williamsburg , Virginia
The conference is designed for judges, court administrators, and executive officers of court-related agencies who are interested in, or will be involved in, courthouse construction or renovation projects.
Special emphasis will be placed on points in the construction and renovation process where critical decisions about technology and security should be made. Examples of discussion topics include: identifying and analyzing facility needs and the options available to meet those needs, choosing an architect and selecting an appropriate contracting strategy, and understanding the roles and decision-making responsibilities of key participants during the planning and construction/renovation stages.
Faculty for the conference will include: Martin Gruen, Courtroom 21 Deputy Director for Courtroom Design and Technology; Tom Pinkerton AIA, an architect with twenty-five years of experience designing federal and state courthouses; and Gerald Thacker, a consultant and former commissioner of the U.S. Public Building Service and former Assistant Director for Facilities and Security at the Administrative Offices of the U.S. Courts.
