jury duty proposed signage
DESCRIPTION
Reshaping the jury duty experience in DenverTRANSCRIPT
The current environmental signage in place around
the building works well with the architecture and has
clearly been thought out for many areas. During our
visits and research we noticed places where signs had
been made to provide a quick fix for areas that were
lacking appropriate signage. This section will explore
those areas and provide suitable solutions.

The first sign that jurors are confronted with is in an area
where employees and jurors are separated. By placing
a sign that is consistent with the rest of the courthouse,
it establishes the experience of the courthouse within
seconds of entering the door.
Entrance
After passing through security, the jurors are now faced
with a wall with no directions as to which way to go for
the juror assembly room, leading them to the only choice
left; asking the security guards. The proposed signs are in
the same style as those for the security area, and can be
moved out of the way on days when jurors are not needed.

After Security
Along with the movable signs, permanent signage for
the jury assembly room can be added to existing walll
mounted signs. These would assist any jurors that
happen to enter through the back security area and also
allow visitors to see what the rooom looks like in off
hours. Visitors would also be more likely to remember
where this room is if they are summoned in the future.
Wall Mounted Signage

This sign is on the outside of the rear door of the
assembly room. If juros are trying to locate the juror room
and stumble upon this door, they are redirected to the
check-in area.

Check-In Area
Once the jurors arrive at the entrance to the Juror
check-in area, it is now clear that this is where they need
to be. The added Jury check-in sign underneath of the
Jury Commisioner makes this obvious.
If the door is closed, jurors are encouraged to not enter
the room until they have been officially checked in,
reducing confusion and letting them know someone will
be with them shortly.

These signs replace the paper ones that are currently
in use in this area, and continue the theme of signage
throughout the building.

Bell
This sign for the bell area draws it’s style from the
illustrations on the restroom signage. Using a metal sign
here would reduce the need to replace a paper sign and
continue the more professional look of the jury room.

Exit
Upon exiting the courthouse, many users pass through
the same exit area. This area could be improved by the
use of the same kind of metal signage that is used within
the courthouse. This would stand up to the amount of
traffic much better than the paper sign that occupies
this space now and leave a strong impression upon the
experience that they have traveled with the use of signs
throughout the courthouse.
