Jury comments: This addition and renovation of a 1930s courthouse makes accessibility look easy. The main entrance, incorporated into the new addition, is now universally accessible. Courtroom ramps provide access to all functional areas—witness stand, judge’s perch, jury boxes, viewer’s gallery. This terrific design means no excuses for clunky, tortured accessibility upgrades to government buildings.
