Facilities Program Overview
The Facilities Services team Works Together Providing Access to Justice, in support of two Judicial Branch Strategic Goals: access and infrastructure.
Our core values are Integrity, Reliability, Innovation, and Efficiency.
Established in 2002, Facilities Services oversees a comprehensive infrastructure program for court facilities. Through this program, the Judicial Council implements the landmark Trial Court Facilities Act (TCFA) of 2002. The TCFA shifted governance of California's courthouses from counties to the state.
These committees oversee and guide Facilities Services:
- Court Facilities Advisory Committee
- Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee
- Court Security Advisory Committee
- Real Estate Policies Subcommittee
The organization's current structure includes six units: Project Management, Facility Operations, Program Support, Real Estate, Security, and Quality Assurance and Control. See the full organization chart.
Over the course of its history, Facilities Services has conducted or commissioned many studies and reports on a variety of building topics. View available studies and reports.
