Committee discusses adding air conditioning to Circuit and Probate courtrooms, recommends HVAC engineer oversight

Summary

Members discussed adding air conditioning to Circuit and Probate courtrooms to address summer heat and acoustics; administration recommended a project manager/HVAC engineer lead and will follow up with U.P. Engineers & Architects.

The committee discussed options for adding air conditioning to the Circuit and Probate courtrooms to improve comfort and acoustics during summer months.

Members noted that existing window-mounted units require opening courtroom windows for venting, which affects acoustics and the ability to hear proceedings. Administrator Kelly J. Church recommended that a project manager or HVAC engineer lead any courtroom air-conditioning project. The committee directed Administrator Church to follow up with U.P. Engineers & Architects to develop options and cost estimates.

No formal motion was taken; the item remains at the discussion and planning stage pending proposals from engineering staff.
