DUBLIN CRIMINAL COURTS – THE SOUND CHOICE IN STORAGE

Allied Workspace are proud to announce that they have successfully completed the Mobile Shelving fitout at the new €140 million Dublin Criminal Courts complex located on Parkgate Street at the entrance to the Phoenix Park. Allied Workspace supplied over a kilometer of mechanical mobile shelving for the storage of lever arch and box files in various banks. The M9000 system is regarded as the easiest system to use, moving 4800kg using 1kg force. Staff are already commenting on how smooth and effortless the M9000 is to manage in comparison to systems used in the past.

The Criminal Courts Complex is the largest courts project undertaken in the State since the building of the Four Courts itself. The 10 storey high building contains 22 double height courtrooms, 16 of which are jury courts. The use of separate horizontal and vertical circulation routes has been developed to create an innovative solution that meets the sustainable and functional requirements of modern court houses. Jury assembly and dining rooms, a public restaurant and accommodation for the Irish Courts Service, the D.P.P., Bar Council as well as Garda and advocate rooms complete the circular form. The building will be an exemplar of sustainable design. Its unique environmental bronze and glass veil will at once demonstrate the weight of justice, its strength & materiality while simultaneously controlling light and acoustics within the courtrooms. The ‘Great Hall’ is the central heart of the complex, providing a simple legibility to public circulation.
