Finding the way in Superior Court
The Allen County, Ind., Misdemeanor and Traffic Court processes about 30,000 cases a year, and this number is growing. The county decided an updated means of public wayfinding was needed.
A project team consisting of the Allen Superior Court, Allen County IT Department, Indiana Supreme Court Technology Division and Allen County Building Maintenance selected Infax, a Georgia-based software and design company, to provide wayfinding expertise, software and technology to guide individuals through facilities.
The result was a transformation in all operational phases of the court, according to Jeff Leffers, director of court operations. Four flat screen monitors were installed in the lobby to display court calendars and information both in English and Spanish. Two public check-in kiosks were constructed. The court’s signage was updated and PCs with drag-and-drop touch-screen monitors were installed in the courtrooms for prosecuting attorneys. The project was completed in July 2014.
Two Indiana Supreme Court grants, totaling nearly $60,000, funded the project.
