This last volume in a four-volume final report on the Hawaii judicial system master plan summarizes Volumes 1 through 3 and presents a plan for the strategic construction of new facilities and the improvement of existing facilities according to the priority of needs.
Abstract
Volume 1 provides population, court workload, and judicial personnel forecasts based on 1973 to 1987 data to facilitate capital improvement planning in response to anticipated growth needs. Volume 2 develops goals for effective and efficient operation of the judicial system and offers facility space standards, design guidelines, and layouts to meet those goals. Volume 3 evaluates 22 existing judicial facilities in terms of their spatial, operational, and physical adequacy and assigns each a numerical score to permit identification of facilities most in need of improvement. These analytically based methodologies and their results provide the basis of the capital improvements plan. The improvement and growth strategies developed in the plan are presented by Circuit, commencing with a brief narrative explanation of the growth strategy and then illustrating existing facilities locations, recommendations for each facility, and locations of new and retained facilities. A prioritized list of capital facility projects and a suggested schedule of improvements are included. Approximate magnitudes of improvement are appended. Tables, figures, and maps.
