The second floor contains a courtroom; student computer room; fitness center, first aid and CPR training; and storage rooms for records and student supplies. The first floor includes two state-of-the-art classrooms, an executive conference room, and a computer lab used by FAST3 (Faculty and Staff Technology Training Team, U of I). There are six hard-wired video scenario rooms, as well as additional areas for crime scene processing and other tactical training located in the basement.
