Academy of Architecture for Justice

 

The Academy of Architecture for Justice (AAJ) promotes and fosters the exchange of information and knowledge between members, professional organizations, and the public for high-quality planning, design, and delivery of justice architecture.

AAJ members have an interest and expertise in the planning, design, and construction of justice facilities, including judicial complexes, courthouses, police stations, prisons, jails, and juvenile detention centers. The architect members work in private and public organizations of all sizes, and many have expertise in areas ranging from courtroom technology and advanced security systems to specific design requirements for juvenile detention centers.

The AAJ's allied members are people from all sectors of the justice facilities community who work in partnership with architects. They include educators, public servants, administrators, manufacturers, and consultants. Together, AAJ members are committed to improving the justice system's quality and effectiveness by increasing the level of excellence in justice facilities.

Goals
To focus on effective project delivery, team building, collaboration, project management, financial management, communications skills, management skills, and cutting-edge design issues for architects who provide the diversified services associated with justice architecture.
