STACKING DIAGRAM Additional to the adjacency of the departments is the vertical stacking of the departments in the building. Many departments contend with access to the front entrance, security connections and staff only areas, and the typical floor height for certain services. For example, the courtroom spaces are typically a higher floor to ceiling height for the required visibility and raised dais of the judge for court proceedings. Therefore, understanding what floor and connection each department has to each other is important. All modern courthouses are developed on one fundamental principle of three separate and secured circulation paths - staff, public, and inmate restricted. These paths must be continuous throughout the facility and not be interceded by each other. The stacking diagram for the Kittitas County Courthouse was determined to be a two story structure for both the Courthouse and the Government Building. This would facilitate inmate drop off at the appropriate locations and circulation up to the courtroom holding areas. 14 16DLRGROUP The diagram attached indicates blue areas for the courthouse building and green areas for the Government Building. The vertical circulation provided throughout both buildings are indicated with the designated colors. Yellow bars indicate public elevators; blue bars indicate restricted elevators for staff only; and the red bars are for detention or in -custody circulation.
