Courts Buildin¢ Offtce Buildine <br />Net Square Feet Required (2013) 113,308 NSF 42,793 NSF <br />Net-to-Gross Space Efficiency 65% 80% <br />Total Gross Building Area 174,320 GSF 53,491 GSF <br />Total Building Area Required - Both Facili~ies 227,811 GSF <br />Plan D(2) would occupy the existing net space in the Courthouse to 98.91% of the <br />space available; however, this could be reduced to 92.00% with the completion of <br />approximately 5,500 NSF on the Second F7oor Mezzanine level, thus providing <br />greater flexibility in space assignment in the existing Courthouse. <br />^ In each case, it is assumed that the downtown District Attorney functions <br />(Administration, Circuit and District Court Divisions, Support Enforcement and <br />Victim/Witness) would consolidate into the new Courts Building. The District <br />Attorney should remain as near the courts as possible. Since the addition amount of <br />"office-type" space. needed exceeds the projected size of the District Attorney <br />department, it should relocate in either Plan D(1) or Plan D(2) with the new Courts <br />Building. <br />r Remodeling of the eacisting Courthouse will be an e~ctensive (and expensive) <br />proposition, necessitated by seismic and other code conditions. It should be assumed <br />that the entire building will be remodeled, sprinklered and reinforced -- not just the <br />spaces which are converted as a result of vacancies left by the court-support <br />functions. Since both Plans D(1) and D(2) maintain the location of Risk <br />Management on the fourth floor, and the increased office occupancy of the existing <br />Courthouse will benefit from the fourth floor conference facilities, it is likely that the <br />fourth floor will not require extensive remodeling. <br />Nevertheless, remodeling the balance of the floors in the Courthouse may create <br />staging difficulties, since it is unlikely that most of the Courthouse can remain <br />occupied during this extensive remodeling process. (Floor-by-floor remodeling may <br />not be possible with the seismic bracing required -- W.E. Group should investigate <br />this likelihood). <br />Page 3 <br />
