Restorative Justice Design

Our forward-thinking work can influence and will continue to improve treatment-focused corrections and detention design concepts. We lead the conversation in restorative, outcomes-focused justice design by applying critical concepts such as normative environments with abundant natural light; biophilic design principles; program spaces to promote rehabilitative program opportunities that reduce recidivism; welcoming family visitation areas designed to help lessen stress; and staff amenities to enhance employee wellness. These design interventions can positively transform the lives of those within the facility, their families, and communities, as well as staff.

Leveraging the Continuum of Care to Improve Outcomes

Ninety-five percent of incarcerated individuals eventually resume their lives in the community. Additionally, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reported on any given day 60,000 youth under 18 are incarcerated in juvenile jails/prisons in the United States. Their successful reintegration depends on innovative programs grounded in treatment, healing, and evidence-based solutions. We bring together critical stakeholders, program providers, and community partners to identify opportunities for the integration of vital programs that reduce recidivism.

Integrating Mental & Behavioral Health Treatment

We’ve designed two of the three correctional health facilities recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice as exemplary, setting a new, higher standard for access to care for incarcerated populations. With expertise across a wide spectrum of facilities and rehabilitation centers, our justice design and healthcare experts are committed to doing everything to help our clients provide superior care for their populations’ challenging medical, mental, and behavioral health issues.

Humanizing & Balancing Complex Social Needs

We push the boundaries of conventional justice facility planning and design approaches to offer a fresh perspective. We drive innovative concepts that specifically address the needs of at-risk populations, creating treatment and rehabilitationamiable environments that are an essential component of a holistic justice system. In collaboration with comprehensive programs, our justice facility solutions proactively support the successful reintegration of individuals into their families and communities.

We continually explore how design can optimize rehabilitation outcomes and incorporate concepts which provide interior environments supportive of the facility’s mission and are conducive to staff hiring, performance and retention. We strive to design home-like, comfortable facilities through the application of abundant daylight, views and connection to the outdoors, spatial variety and use of color and softer finishes, transparency and “breathing space”.

Mental Health

As a leader in jail design for 50+ years, our innovative work has influenced jail design concepts in common use today such as direct supervision, normalized housing environments, program spaces to promote inmate programming opportunities and enhanced staff amenities. Our subject matter experts serve on American Correctional Association committees and provide training on behalf of the American Jail Association and the National Institute of Corrections.

Four key trends impacting inmate care and behavior management and, in turn, the recent physical plants are:

INMATE MANAGEMENT

FUTURE

Outcome Focused

Holistic Approach

Continuum of Care

Collaborative Partnerships

COMMUNITY ASSET

1 - Limited Use of Restrictive Housing

Socialization opportunities can be part of an overall step-down strategy to return the inmate to general population. As the inmate progresses, they are permitted access to the main dayroom with more socialization opportunities and amenities.

2 - Continuum of Housing

The continuum encourages and rewards good behavior with less restrictive housing environments. This works especially well with an effective behavior-based classification system.

3 - Expanded Medical, Behavioral & Mental Healthcare

Our designs reflect the most current best practices to support mental health treatment. This includes dedicated mental health housing where acute inmates can be stabilized under close observation; they can transition to specialized units that provide supervised socialization, with the goal being to return the individual to the general population.

4 - More Women in Jail Women in jail tend to have experienced trauma, and the design of their housing should utilize trauma-informed design principles, including: adverse stimuli removal or reduction; connections to daylight and nature; and a cool color palette.

Over the last 30 years, what were once considered radical jail and operational ideas are now current best practices: direct supervision; open intake waiting area; integrated pretrial services at intake; video arraignment; video visitation supplemented with non-contact visitation; rear chase design; recreation, medical triage and programming spaces in each housing pod to limit inmate movement; robust inmate programs focused on treatment and transition back into the community; and gender responsive design.

The jail of the future will be impacted by the following elements:

A More Holistic Approach

Focused on the entire justice system including increased emphasis on re-entry programs.

Community Corrections Programs

Focused on re-entry/inmate support, community corrections programs will become more pervasive.

Alternatives to Incarceration

An increased emphasis on alternative sentencing to further reduce cost of incarceration and reduce recidivism.

Competing Interests

Depending on pressures at the state level, local jails may be forced to provide more beds for sentenced inmates or provide transitional beds for pre-release prison populations. Budget pressures cause communities to rethink policies on justice.

We

believe that design has the power to encourage rehabilitation, help reduce recidivism and change lives.

Industry Leadership

Several of HDR’s team members have been appointed to national organizations that focus on the development of codes, standards or guidelines that have a direct impact on the design of detention and correctional facilities. Our subject matter experts are contributing authors to several National Institute of Corrections (NIC) publications on facility planning and design and also provide training on behalf of the American Jail Association (AJA) and the National Institute of Corrections to expand best practices concepts and knowledge throughout the country. Our professionals serve as chairs on sub-committees for the American Correctional Association (ACA) and the American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Justice (AIA-AAJ)

HDR proudly supports the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) as a Gold-level corporate partner. CLA brings together the leaders of the nation’s state correctional departments to navigate current challenges, trends, and bring forth solutions in order to progress the justice industry as a whole. The mission of CLA is to unite in a commitment to “promote the profession of corrections, support and train correctional leaders, and influence policy and practices that affect public safety.” As leaders in justice design, we understand the important and selfless work of our country’s correctional leaders and are honored to be contributing members of this forward-thinking organization.

HDR is also a proud sponsor of the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA). The goal of CJJA is to be a research, technical, educational and networking resource for juvenile justice administrators throughout the country. Our partnership with CJJA was established to better understand the challenges juvenile justice administrators are facing, while also using our knowledge and expertise of juvenile justice design to help educate and inform leaders on the latest progressive design strategies to ultimately make safer, more rehabilitative facilities for our youth.

County Jails

FRANKLIN COUNTY Corrections Center

COLUMBUS, OH— Approximately 35,000 individuals are booked into the Franklin County jails each year. In an effort to reduce recidivism and create a smart and sustainable justice system, County leaders decided to replace their two old and outdated jails with a new jail facility that will be a model for the rest of the Country. Emphasis on the building design is to provide mental health care, medical care, and programming aimed to reduce individuals from re-offending.

The Franklin County Corrections Center provides a continuum of care for both the medical and mental health needs of detainees. These areas are jointly supervised by medical and correctional staff. The medical area has negative pressure rooms for individuals with contagious diseases, rooms with hospital beds to serve those recovering from surgery procedures, and an infirmary for routine medical care. Also as part of the medical area, a detoxification unit allows medical staff to supervise and manage the withdrawal symptoms of detainees with substance abuse issues. The mental health component has rooms for detainees requiring acute care and a stepdown dormitory to allow detainee monitoring and socialization before they transition back to general population.

HDR provided functional and architectural programming verification, site planning, and

schematic design services. At the completion of Phase 1, the County requested HDR complete a needs assessment and revise the capacity projections to examine the impacts of recent County initiatives diverting persons from the jail and reducing length of stay. This study was completed and presented to representatives of County’s Criminal Justice Advisory Board and County Commissioners.

Phase 1 included all the core support spaces for a complete build out of 2,190 beds. Components include Intake/Release (booking), Food Service, Laundry, Warehouse, and Court Transport. Phase 2 is under construction and housing and additional programming space is simply being “plugged into” Phase 1 without disruption to the Phase 1 operations.

Phase 2A includes 426 beds. The beds are nearly all medium security housing and minimum security dormitories using direct supervision management techniques. Phase 2B, postponed by the client after Design Development, includes 897 beds.

Adjacent to the facility’s Intake Center is the Rapid Resource Center (RRC). This center assists people released or deflected from the facility with referrals and linkages to communitybased resources that support reintegration back into the community and promote reduced recidivism.

Jail Consolidation

MADISON, WI— HDR, in collaboration with our partners, was selected to provide architectural and engineering design services for the Dane County Jail Consolidation (DCJC) project.

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) currently has three facilities housing detainees, the City-County building, the Ferris Huber Center, and the Public Safety Building (PSB), which is located on West Doty Street. Upon completion, this project will consolidate all detention housing in the PSB, and will provide essential services for resident treatment and rehabilitation that are currently unavailable due to the condition and configuration of the existing facilities.

To accommodate the additional housing and support functions, a new 8-story tower will be constructed to the southeast of the PSB on West Wilson Street. The new tower will connect at

each PSB floor to allow for flexibility and movement, and will include a new vertical circulation core to connect the existing building and staff support areas to the new upper housing floors. The existing 4th floor of the PSB will be completely renovated to accommodate new medical and mental health housing for men and women, and will include an outpatient clinic and medical support spaces. All of the housing units will be operated under a direct supervision model.

Design drivers for the project include the desire to provide abundant daylight into resident and staff areas, to provide programming spaces appropriate for the population, to improve access to and delivery of health care services to residents, and expanded capabilities for visitation with residents. The PSB will remain fully operational during the entire project.

DANE COUNTY

LUCAS COUNTY

Detention Center

TOLEDO, OH—The new Lucas County Detention Center will be located on a redevelopment site in downtown Toledo, Ohio. The Center will be a pretrial detention facility and will have 430 beds the majority of which will be direct supervision. The design will be two operational levels and will include Sheriff’s administration space.

The overall goal for the Detention Center is to improve care and reentry outcomes for people admitted. This will be done by addressing underlying causes of criminal behavior and recidivism including substance use disorders.

The new Detention Center will include a transition to a direct supervision operating modeling which will be matched with training and implementation of Strategic Inmate Management (SIM) principles which will include inmate behavior management.

Key features will include:

• Intake area with robust medical and mental health screening and embedded pretrial services staff to deflect some arrestees safely and appropriately from incarceration.

• Therapeutic community housing units focused on addressing substance use disorders and criminal behaviors including one housing unit targeted towards young (18 –24-year-old) detainees.

• Program spaces throughout the facility for both individual and group counseling, therapies, and instruction.

• A new mental health housing area that will provide a continuum of care for detainees with various acuities.

• A new Reentry Center that will provide services and connections to outside agencies for released detainees. Staff and counselors will assist with connecting people with housing, transportation, medical care, mental health care, and substance abuse treatment.

Another goal is improved safety for staff and detainees. This will be done implementing National Institute of Corrections’ new Strategic Inmate Management (SIM) principles that are designed to improve inmate behavior management and supervision. To support these principles, the building will be designed with a continuum of housing options that encourage compliant behavior. Traumainformed design features including an abundant natural light and normative, but durable, finishes and furnishings will be used for the benefit of staff but also to encourage compliant detainee behavior.

SHAWNEE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Mental Health Module

TOPEKA, KS—The Shawnee Department of Corrections recognized the need for a dedicated secured living unit for housing their persistently and severely mentally ill clients. The design of the unit includes 75 beds, as well as space for recreation, programming, and mental health and correctional staff.

As originally conceptualized by the county, the new unit was to be located on top of the existing 1985 Medical Module and tie into the existing secured units on the upper floors. However, early in the process, HDR, working with KBS Constructors and HTK Architects, recognized the need for re-thinking the rooftop addition.

HDR develop a quick-test straw program that showed that the 75 beds would require at least two levels above the existing Medical Module because of the footprint of that existing building. A preliminary study of the structural drawings also determined that the existing 1985 Medical Module could support no more that one level of addition. HDR was quickly able to provide alternate solutions to the addition, including a one level addition that spanned over an existing access road and a staff parking lot to the west of the 1985 building.

Jail Medical and Mental Health Modifications

DALLAS, TX—The Dallas County Jail was under Federal Oversight to improve the medical and mental health conditions and services within the jail. Creating a stand-alone, centralized medical-mental health services facility, the primary goal was to limit the number of detainee visits to Dallas County’s Parkland Hospital’s emergency room and the number of inpatient stays, while providing medical and mental health care for the jail’s average population of approximately 7,000 individuals.

Working with the Sheriff’s office, the Federal Monitor, and Parkland Hospital, the HDR team designed the Dallas County Jail Medical Modification (DCJMM), which is a one-of-a-kind facility renovation and modification of 139,657 square feet of existing space in the lowest three floors of the Lew Sterrett North Jail Tower that is operated by Parkland Hospital. And, while on-site correctional health is managed through a unique partnership with the nearby Parkland Hospital, the improvements recently completed for the Dallas County Jail establish the facility as a national model for correctional healthcare by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The renovated space includes separate medical and mental health clinics, dental office, a full service pharmacy, a radiology unit and two intensive care units, one for men and one for women, along with medical staff offices.

In addition to the ‘finish-out’ of these three floors, the project also includes improvements meant to improve overall site security at the Jail/Courts Complex.

Lastly, the project includes minor modifications to several floors of the west jail tower to provide mental health program spaces. Two unique aspects of the design solution include segregated movement for mental health detainee patients, and a secure suite for clinicians and staff movement. Mental health detainee patents have a separate path of movement through the facility to provide the proper treatment environments to increase positive outcomes. The core design of the treatment floor provide a secure suite to allow clinicians and security staff free and unobstructed movement between treatment areas in a secure environment, thus decreasing response times.

DALLAS COUNTY

Todd Road Jail Master Plan, Phase 1 and Health and Programming Unit Expansion

SANTA PAULA, CA— On Phase 1 of the Todd Road Jail project, HDR was commissioned to provide a master plan and subsequent architectural/engineering services for the new Ventura County Jail - Todd Road. The master plan was designed to be implemented in four phases, with full build-out providing the County with a 2,307 detainee capacity sentenced facility. Subsequent to the completion of the master plan, HDR designed a low rise, indirect supervision facility situated on the 100-acre site to allow a predominant part of the site’s income generating orchard to remain while also acting as a buffer to public view.

HDR recently completed services for the new Ventura County Todd Road Jail Health and Programming Unit (TRJHPU), which was being built on a site adjacent to the existing Ventura County Todd Road Jail facility. The project is a 64-bed expansion that offers a more holistic approach to treatment for those detainee-patients with medical/mental health

needs. The primary focus is treatment in a therapeutic healthcare environment with a custody overlay. Security staff are present to ensure safety of staff and patients and work in partnership with Medical and Mental health care staff providing treatment and services at the housing unit. Increased program space is provided to allow treatment staff to implement programs for the specific needs of medical/ mental health detainee-patients with a continuum of care not only within the facility but through release.

The expansion of programming space allows the County to provide more evidence-based programs and cognitive behavioral therapy to the medical/mental health population in a physical layout that is secure and safe for both staff and detainees. The goal is to reduce recidivism by providing the best possible evidence-based programs and treatment that will allow detainee-patients to flourish once they re-enter the community.

HINDS COUNTY

Jail Master Plan

JACKSON, MS— In July 2016, Hinds County entered into a Settlement Agreement with the United States District Court (USDC) regarding the operation and condition of the County’s jail facilities. Major issues raised in the agreement included:

• Disrepair of the facilities

• Lack of appropriate supervision of inmates

• Inappropriate use of detention

• Facility deficiencies surrounding the care of inmates with mental health issues

A Monitor was appointed by the Court to inspect and monitor compliance with the Settlement Agreement. Other consultants in the areas of jail operations, medical care, and juvenile justice were brought in by the Monitor to assist. The Monitor team has conducted site visits approximately every four months.

After several years, the USDC considered the County’s compliance to be slow, so in January, 2020, the Court ordered (via a Stipulated Order) Hinds County to perform enumerated items by certain dates. The order included:

• Specific repairs to the jails’ physical plants

• Development of a staffing plan

• Improve staff recruitment and retention

• Development of operational policies and procedures centered around the Direct Supervision

• Development of a pretrial services program and the formation of a stakeholder Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) to provide long-term population management.

The Stipulated Order also requires the completion of a master plan to determine the long-term use of each of the three facilities and evaluate the option of building a new facility or further renovating existing facilities.

In May 2020, HDR, as a member of the Cooke, Douglass, Farr, Lemons Architects & Engineers (CDFL) team was hired to complete the required master plan.

The planning team worked with the County to develop a scope of work. The master planning effort was divided into five phases:

• Phase 1 - Best Practices and Planning Goals.

• Phase 2 - Assessment of Current Facilities.

• Phase 3 - Jail Capacity Needs and Inmate Characteristics.

• Phase 4 - Facility Program Development.

• Phase 5 - Option Development and Analysis.

Data was collected and analyzed and regular updates were given to the County. In addition, the planning team also gave a presentation to the Monitor team in October, 2020. At that presentation, the planning team asked

Existing Raymond Detention Center

clarifying questions to better understand the intent of the Settlement Agreement and guide the team’s work.

Three jails make up the Hinds County jail system (total capacity = 1,042 beds):

• Jackson Detention Center (JDC) Raymond Detention Center (RDC)

• Raymond Work Center (WC)

The planning team developed capacity projections for a 25-year planning horizon and the projections anticipate the need for about 700 beds moving forward. The projection assumes continued flat county population growth and the sustained implementation of Mississippi Speedy Trial Act. It also assumes the County will stop the practice of detaining persons who do not have the ability to pay fines (unconstitutional) and implement diversion initiatives set forth in the Settlement Agreement.

An architectural program of space needs was created by the planning team to serve as a baseline for the development of master planning options. The program is based on current best jail practices

and the principles of direct supervision. Included is a housing distribution based on the risk and needs of the inmates. This housing distribution was reviewed with the Monitor team.

At the conclusion of the master plan, the team provided four master plan options for evaluation. Each option assumes that the Jackson Detention Center (JDC) will no longer be used for housing but will continue to be used for court holding. Each option also assumes that any new jail construction will take place on the existing Henley-Young campus to take advantage of the site’s proximity to Jackson.

Of the options studied, the planning team believes that Options 1 and 2 offer the best long-term value, addresses all the physical plant issues identified in the Stipulated Order, and the staffing requirements for each option are less than the 270 positions currently funded by the County. Option 2 reuses the WC which is in good condition and uses direct supervision that is required by the Stipulated Order. Construction cost for Option 2 is approximately $34 million

less than Option 1 however Option 2 will require approximately $1.4 million more annually for staffing. Options 3 and 4 are slightly more affordable in terms of construction costs than Option 2 but any savings is quickly lost by the higher annual staffing costs.

Option 1 would be ideal in terms of location and consolidating the entire jail system into one facility and offers the least expensive staff and operating costs. The construction cost is $35 million higher and may be out of reach of the County. Option 2 is less expensive and still offers staffing levels that are below the County’s number of currently funded position. The main drawback of Option 2 is the travel distance to the WC from Jackson however this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the main core jail services will be located at Henley-Young.

Option 1 - 722-bed Jail at Henley-Young campus

Juvenile Justice Experience

Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility, Campus Replacement

HIGHLAND HILLS, OH—The Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) is planning for the construction of four 36bed youth facilities that will be dispersed throughout the northern region of the state. The entire project is currently anticipated to be approximately $152 million and funded over multi-biennial.

ODYS has devoted their time and effort to staying committed to their True North philosophy that is to “transform and save lives of the youth of the State of Ohio.”

ODYS’s mission is to improve Ohio’s future by habilitating their youth and empowering their families and the communities in which they live. Their vision is for a safer Ohio by becoming the beacon of hope for one youth, one family, and one community at a time. Core values that are important to ODYS are safety (for staff, youth, and the community), innovation, cultural competence, and wellness; both physically and mentally.

These new micro-facilities will house 36-youth beds and incorporate the State of Ohio’s True North philosophy guided by seven principles:

1. Demonstrate staff as our greatest resource.

2. Treat everyone with respect.

3. Cultivate a trauma-responsive environment for staff and youth to thrive.

4. Provide the best support and services for youth and families.

5. Advance our culture of inclusion through understanding and appreciating staff and youth differences.

6. Commit to and encourage collaboration and continuous improvement to produce better outcomes for those we serve.

7. Celebrate collective successes and support one another through opportunities to improve.

Each of these facilities will incorporate administrative spaces, spaces to support health and wellness for the staff and youth, various programming and educational spaces, outdoor recreation, and green spaces for additional outdoor activities and programming needs.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH SERVICES

Juvenile Detention Center and Attendant Care

GRAND FORKS, ND—The new Grand Forks County Juvenile Center will have sixteen detention (secure) beds and eight attendant care (non-secure) beds serving youths between the ages of 12 and 17. The Center will serve the twelve counties of the Northeast Judicial District of North Dakota.

The design will incorporate traumaresponsive and biophilic design features to create a safe and healing environment to support programs focused on mental health, social skills, and personal improvement. Movable furniture, woodlook materials, and normalize fixtures will convey expectations of trust and respect for the youths. Natural light will be abundant with clerestory windows providing light to common areas and day spaces.

An outdoor space is incorporated into the design. The space will provide opportunities for horticulture therapy, cook-outs, and leisure activities as well as views and connection to nature.

The Grand Forks Public School District will provide education services to the youths and staff. Volunteers will supplement required instruction with parenting and cooking classes, as well as cognitive and social therapies.

The Center is planned to have a Class 1 rating from the State of North Dakota that allows the facility to hold a juvenile for up to one year. Family visitation areas are provided as well as video visitation opportunities to allow youths to maintain contact and access to parents and loved ones.

The Attendant Care Program provides non-secure holdover for unruly and/or delinquent juveniles who have been picked up by law enforcement and need shortterm (maximum 96-hours) supervision on a pre-adjudicatory basis. Attendant Care requires constant supervision in a non-physically secure setting and the facility has been designed to provide this supervision in a staff efficient manner.

GRAND FORKS COUNTY

Residential Youth Treatment Facility

OMAHA, NE—The RADIUS Residential Youth Treatment Facility is envisioned to provide a transformative environment for vulnerable youth and juveniles in Omaha.

The 43,000-square-foot facility is a chrysalis, representing a transition in the lives of Omaha’s vulnerable youth. While the building itself is the physical manifestation of this transition, the meaningful interaction that occurs within activates the transformation.

• As residents transition through various spaces on the site and within the facility, they develop a feeling of empowerment by realizing control over their journey and level of interaction.

• Residents can engage in activities and encounters gradually and willingly rather than abruptly or with force. Delicate and controlled transitions between spaces and within spaces enable an appropriate level of control and choice for each resident, allowing them to engage at their own pace.

• Flexibility transforms seemingly mundane in-between spaces into purposeful and therapeutic transitions.

• The site itself is transformative with rejuvenating landscapes and empowering experiences. As youths connect with nature, anxiety and stress fade away.

• The facility is a threshold for the community, encouraging a renewed sense of hope and purpose. It welcomes, heals,

and educates the community, both in its purpose and in its physical construction.

• The facility blurs hard lines and boundaries by embracing thresholds as a tool to bridge the paradox of residential care. It is transparent yet private, connected yet separate, open yet secure, non-restrictive yet safe, and experiential yet efficient.

• Elevating the well-being of youth in a safe space focused on accountability and habilitation, the facility is accountable to the health of its residents, the community, and the environment in which it belongs.

• While the Chrysalis is a physical transformation, we are attempting to enable a transformation of each occupant’s mental health. It is this internal healing of the mind, the reconciliation and growth within themselves, that the facility and staff will enable.

The facility is designed to appear residential and minimize the appearance of being hardened and institutional. The facility design remains focused on flexibility to allow differing and progressive living environments. The pre-adjudicated population, both general and higher risk, are housed in single occupancy rooms, and all housing units will be single level. Using an encompassing approach for classification, youth requiring a controlled custody environment for reasons of

protection from predatory behavior will be housed in flex units. The interior environment, though hardened for sustainability and security, is designed to create a normative environment.

The design focuses on opportunities for normative living. Staff positions improve line of site, allowing enhanced freedom of movement by youth outside the housing units. Free movement within the facility is encouraged and monitored by staff. Youth are allowed to attend education and other program services within facility.

The outpatient clinic provides professional mental/behavioral health assessment and treatment for youth and families.

The facility’s design includes classrooms for education, gymnasium, and exterior recreation area. Small exterior patio areas are designed with direct access from each housing unit to provide youth access to fresh air and sunlight.

MINNEHAHA COUNTY

Juvenile Justice Center

SIOUX FALLS, SD—The existing Minnehaha County Juvenile Detention Center is facing challenges not uncommon in facilities designed throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. This project looks at the potential for a renovation of the current facility, as well as the construction of a new, ground-up facility.

As the HDR team went through the programming and planning phase, the methodology to move the needle of change was based on the client’s philosophy that 95% of their youth are well-behaved; the 5% of youth that are not well-behaved are sporadic enough that the design does not have to reflect their needs, but the building itself needs to be able to react when the occasion of challenged youth occurs. On-going design workshops kept the team on-time and on-budget with deliverables through each phase of the design process.

The final decision by Minnehaha County and the JDC staff was a new ground-up facility on their existing site. The future Minnehaha County Juvenile Justice Center includes a juvenile courtroom and court services, intake/processing, medical, seven small housing units of eight youth beds, two smaller housing units of four youth beds, education and programming spaces, two large interior courtyards, family reunification spaces, dedicated staff respite areas and staff facilities, and a community room and outdoor community space for additional programming and activities.

The evolution of the design based on the county and staff’s vision and goals has led to an outcome-focused and holistic approach not only to how they plan to operate their facility, but also for the continuum of care for their youth. Their new Juvenile Justice Center will be a beacon of hope for the youth, as well as an asset to their community and to juvenile justice reform and habilitation.

Youth Justice Facility

CHERRY CREEK, AUS—The primary goal of the new Youth Justice Redevelopment Project (YJRP) is to design and program a youth justice facility that, in collaboration with a new operational approach, will reduce offending behaviors in the community.

The new facility at Cherry Creek initially opened with 140 beds to cater for both remand and sentenced youth, with scope for further expansion to 244 beds within the allocated government-owned site. A youth justice operating model was developed to inform how the new

facility operates and the range of services it provides. The operating model was informed by current and emerging youth justice policy and links the policy directions to infrastructure requirements.

The new facility includes a school and mental health and habilitation services within a highly secure and safe environment. It supports and promote youth treatment and habilitation in a humane, respectful, culturally appropriate, and normative environment in a campus setting.

DOUGLAS COUNTY

Juvenile Justice Center

OMAHA, NE— Located in the urban setting of downtown Omaha, the new complex occupies a one block area immediately south of the existing Douglas County Courthouse. The program elements are organized as a complex of three structures surrounding a central courtyard. The project addresses major space needs and promotes efficiency by placing juvenile services together. It provides public transparency; and shifts juvenile services toward the treatment approach that is now the national model.

The complex is composed of:

• A central courtyard which serves as the primary organizing element, site gate and point of entry to the tower and probation building.

• A new four-story youth center with 64 sleeping rooms, intake, visitation, education, recreation areas and all support spaces.

• A new eight-story tower houses eight courtrooms, as well as offices for attorneys, public defenders and court support personnel. In addition, the ground level is fitted with large meeting spaces for use by the staff and community. The tower is connected to the existing courthouse via a pedestrian skybridge.

• The existing four-story office building houses probation.

The youth center is designed with the aesthetic of an urban apartment building, while maintaining the durability and security required for a detention facility. Clad in brick, metal panel and glass, ample daylight with views in and out (as appropriate) are the basis for a normative environment. The interior material pallet is “soft” and detailed to reflect a therapeutic setting. Serving the youth, their families, and the entire community, the complex provides intensive restorative care, counseling, and guidance.

DENTON

COUNTY

Charlie J. Cole Juvenile Probation/Detention Center Renovation

DENTON, TX— A long-standing advisor to Denton County, HDR worked on the initial capital improvement studies for the Charlie Cole campus and the conceptual design in 2002. We are recently designed the latest addition to the Charlie Cole Juvenile campus. The juvenile building upgrade encompasses a 28,000-square-foot phased addition and expansion to include new courts and a vehicular sallyport, and the renovation of the existing intake area and juvenile detention administrative support areas.

Denton County is a leader in responding to a state initiative to innovate juvenile corrections and is moving to communitybased juvenile systems. The Charlie Cole Center upgrade will transform the building into a user- and public-friendly facility and as a first stop in the juvenile justice process can substantially impact future outcomes for at-risk youth.

Phase 1 of the approved program concept includes an addition to provide a new location for the courts while the current building remains operational during construction. The addition will relocate the undersized and outdated courts that are now embedded within the facility and reestablish an expanded courts area designed to modern standards. The new courts will provide better circulation, with separate public and secure access, to help ensure public safety and the secure transport of juvenile offenders. There are 2 courts planned at full build-out. One will be built while the other remains as shell space until needed.

Phase 2 will renovate the existing court space to expand the intake and staging area for juveniles, with a dedicated, new sallyport.

The project was designed to design development before the County placed the project on hold.

NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Youth Rehabilitation & Treatment Center

KEARNEY, NE —HDR was selected for a new residential treatment addition/ renovation for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Children and Family Services. The location of the site is on their existing campus that was founded in 1879 and began receiving boys and girls in July of 1881.

Kearney YRTC’s mission is to help youth live better lives through effective services, giving youth the chance to become law-abiding citizens.

The Kearney YRTC has accreditation with the American Correctional Association (ACA), earned top marks in their most recent Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), and is a member of the PerformanceBased Standards (PbS) Project sponsored by the Council for Juvenile Correctional Administrators.

Campus work includes the design and construction of two new housing units and the renovation of an existing building to be re-purposed for mental health and behavioral treatment, as well as programming space for Moral

Recognition Therapy (MRT), Aggression Replacement Therapy (ART), Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), individual therapy, and substance abuse needs.

Key design philosophies used were elements of biophilic design, traumaresponsive design, behavioral health design principles, and evidence-based design precedents. Through various workshops, the HDR team dove deep to understand the operations of the staff and the types of youth being housed on the campus.

The new type of housing developed incorporates an abundance of natural daylight, with each sleeping room having a window, and ample dayroom space for various programming activities and downtime for the youth. The sleeping rooms were designed so the youth have a separation of space between their living area and their bathroom. Special nooks were created between the sleeping rooms for a place the youth can utilize for individual quite time, reading, and/ or studying.

A kitchenette in the day room space allows the youth self-autonomy to selfserve small snacks. The housing units are representation of college dorm units, creating a normalized environment. Each housing unit includes a laundry room, so the youth have the ability to wash their bedding and clothing, supporting life skills.

Other components of the project included the replacement of the campus fire pump and of the kitchen elevator.

HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES (DHHS)

Youth Development Center Replacement Facility

HAMPSTEAD, NH—The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for the State of New Hampshire and the Sununu Youth Services Center (SYSC) chose HDR to program, plan, and design their new Youth Development Center (NH YDC). A deep dive was done through programming workshops to include spaces that were needs-based by the key departmental personnel—our team leveraged stakeholder questionnaires to validate space needs, as well as long-term needs for the new YDC. This approach allowed the planning team to prioritize the needs and wants of the end-users, as well as analyze what services and spaces could be shared between the new YDC and the Hampstead Hospital Residential Treatment Facility.

Through visioning session activities, we were able to define the project vision and goals and establish key project priorities. Two key philosophies identified that align with the project vision and goals are trauma-informed care and restorative justice. A word cloud activity was used to explore words that would become the guiding key words and/or phrases to be used as part of the overall project vision.

The following list of words was the consensus of the YDC group, aligning with their trauma-informed care philosophy:

should convey a therapeutic and normative environment.

2. Habilitation. The facility will help support the process of enhancing independence and well-being by providing the appropriate resources, such as treatment to enable the youth positive social skills and coping skills.

3. Healthy and Healing. A healthy and healing environment where both the youth and staff can thrive.

4. Safety for All. Another facet of traumainformed design is that the youth feel safe. This is conveyed primarily by creating good sight-lines so the youth feel they can call staff when needed and that their needs are being met, building a strong layer of trust.

5. Inclusiveness and Community. All are welcomed and are seen as individuals. The facility should convey that the youths have dignity and add value to their family and their community.

HDR’s Juvenile Justice Key Design Principles that became guidelines for the project and set precedence and benchmarks for each phase of the design process. These principles convey to the public the significance of excellence in design for the community.

1. Biophilic Design

2. Trauma-responsive Design

3. Evidence-based Design and Research

4. Environmental Psychology

5. Restorative Justice

ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, DIVISION OF JUVENILE JUSTICE

Fairbanks Youth Facility

FAIRBANKS, AK—The Fairbanks Youth Facility is the second largest Alaskan juvenile correction facility. It is staffed by the Alaska Department of Family and Community Services, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), and houses juvenile individuals for detention and behavioral treatment on behalf of the State of Alaska. The existing facility has numerous deficiencies and inefficiencies that inhibit rather than enhance the mission of the DJJ, and it needs a revitalization to meet modern juvenile correction facility standards.

The vision and mission for this project is for the staff of the Fairbanks Youth Facility to continue care for the youth in a building that meets and exceeds their operational and functional needs. The desired vision for this facility is to be a place of healing for the youth, as well as a safe place where the youth can habilitate and become valued citizens in their respected communities. This opportunity allows the staff and stakeholders to rethink how they do business and look for ways to enhance the delivery of services to their clients—the youths and their families.

Other goals identified are as follows:

1. Trauma Informed. It should be assumed that all youths entering the facility have experienced trauma in their lives and the design of the environment should convey a therapeutic and normative environment.

2. Safe Environment for Youths & Staff. Another facet of trauma-informed design is that the youth feel safe. This is conveyed primarily by creating good sight-lines so the youth feel they can call staff when needed and that their needs are being met, building a strong layer of trust.

3. Family Reunification. Family support is very important to keeping youths from returning to detention. The facility should provide spaces for youths and their family to maintain contact and strengthen family bonds.

4. Hope and Dignity. The facility should convey that the youths have dignity and add value to their family and their community.

Through various in-person and virtual workshops, a program was developed identifying spaces needed for efficiency in their existing facility. The project team was directed to design a facility that accommodates a renovated administrative and probation space with improved operational workflow, improved wayfinding and functionality of the public entrance/ lobby and family visitation, an additional space for staff facilities, and amenities for recruitment and retention.

INGHAM COUNTY

Youth Center Assessment

LANSING, MI— Ingham County selected our team to provide professional architectural and engineering services for an assessment of the Ingham County Youth Center. The assessment focuses on whether renovating the Center or building a new Center is in the best interest of the County.

Facility Goals

Goals for the design of the facility include:

• Suicide-resistant design features

• Full camera coverage

• Good sightlines for observation

• Exterior appearance that conveys a feeling of safety and hope

• Normalized interior design that incorporates trauma-responsive and biophilic design features—a healing environment where youth and staff can thrive

• Operating at best practices to meet the needs of their youth

As part of the programming process, the consultant team performed a “Stop, Start, Enhance” exercise with the staff. The objective of the exercise is to better understand how the current facility may inhibit preferred operational practices and identify practices that staff would like to start, or enhance, with a new facility design.

The following table shows the results of the exercise.

STOP START ENHANCE

Flow of traffic through Intake.

Crossover of facilities crew and youth.

Separate Intake and vehicle sally port.

Access to shut off water to room units to prevent flooding.

Linear layout. More space for classrooms/ programs.

HIPAA violations. Different entrances for public and staff.

Architectural Space Program

Outdoor area for programming; less hardscape.

Introduce a 4H program.

Have a Behavioral Health Unit and enhance the safety of the youth.

Separate visitor and staff parking.

Based on the building components identified, the required area for each desired space, service, and program has been identified in the The Building Gross Square Footage (BGSF) with a space program totaling 39,483 square feet. Through the combination of similar function and program areas, it is estimated that the BGSF could be reduced to approximately 38,000 square feet.

GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

New State Prison

BRYAN COUNTY, GA—The Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) is one of the largest prison systems in the U.S., supervising nearly 52,000 offenders in multiple facilities statewide. This includes 34 state prisons and 36 other detention and correctional support facilities. A number of these prison facilities are reaching the end of their useful life and the GDC is interested in replacing some of the existing aging facilities with a new state prison.

The new state prison is envisioned as a modern facility with the capacity to house 3,000 medium/close security incarcerated individuals in a high efficiency sophisticated state-owned and operated prison capable of meeting the changing needs within the correctional environment for the next 20 years. The facility is envisioned to be designed specifically to meet the needs for Georgia Department of Corrections and to provide all services to include housing, administration, programming spaces, general education, vocational educational, medical, intake, laundry, kitchen, etc.

While the determination of the actual physical location of the new prison is still to be finalized, the facility is planned to include development of a new project site of approximately 100 acres to include utility infrastructure, central plant, etc. required to support the operation of the new prison.

The GDC previously had an in-depth facility program needs assessment conducted. The assessment was intended to address programmatic space needs related to current and future capacity for housing offenders taking into consideration the number and types of beds needed based upon security classification, ancillary support services, food service, medical/mental health services, administrative space, security, technology, along with staff safety and working environment. The needs assessment focused on the overall operational requirements of the new prison facility while ensuring consistency with industry best practices, trends and standards.

In addition to the design of the new facility, the team’s scope of services could be expanded to include demolition, renovation, expansion of an existing facility(s), depending upon the final location of the new prison and ultimately the needs of the Owner.

The delivery method for this Project will be construction manager at-risk (CM/GC). It is the desire of the Owner to incorporate sustainable design and construction concepts in the project where feasible to do so. Further, Georgia Peach certification is required with commissioning.

With a focus on treatment and therapy, the campus will house a Mental Health Unit providing detainees access to mental health professionals, tele-health services, and counselors who will focus on chemical dependency and wellness programs. The facility will provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for its residents and staff through a therapeutic and rehabilitative environment.

SOUTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Women’s Correctional Center

RAPID CITY, SD— A July 2022 report prepared by the South Dakota Department of Corrections (SDDOC) cited that women account for 15% of the total prison population; however, the aging facilities in Pierre housing women populations do not meet the current evidence-based trends for normative and therapeutic environments.

To address the identified deficiencies within the agency’s existing facilities, HDR and Architecture, Inc, along with the SDDOC are collaborating on the design of a purposebuilt, 300-bed women’s facility that is a gender-responsive, program-intensive, and trauma-informed therapeutic facility. This 140,000-square-foot facility will establish a new model based on women’s needs for trauma- and gender-informed planning and design. Gender differences between women and men will be reflected in the type and

use of space, physical plant layout, and built environment. The new facility will support programmatic goals and the creation of a humanistic and responsive environment.

The self-sufficient women’s facility will function as a full-service facility with modern administrative offices and staff support facilities. Housing units will accommodate general and specialized populations, as well as continuum of care through incorporating mental health housing and women’s specialty medical clinics. Additionally, religious spaces, visitation, recreation, laundry, warehouse, dining facilities, education/vocational/training, and instructional classrooms will be included.

The $60 million project is anticipated to meet the high-performance building standards of two green globes and is being delivered via the Construction Manager at Risk method.

In-Patient Treatment Center

JOLIET, IL—This new facility provides an environment suitable for treatment and care of approximately 156 psychiatric patients (96 men and 60 women) and 52 general medical care patients (32 men and 20 women) under custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). These two patient populations are housed in separate units within a single IDOC campus. As this facility includes both men and women patients, they are also housed in separate living units. No living unit houses more than 24 individuals, and the expectation is to maximize natural light. The project achieved LEED Silver Certification and additional energy efficiencies were included in the project.

The design includes biophilic elements including landscapes and naturalistic components that enrich the experience of patients, visitors, and staff, while providing a healthy and meaningful connection to nature that has been proven to help reduce stress.

The facility is one of the first constructed as a treatment focused, therapeutic and normalizing treatment center. The new IDOC In-Patient Treatment Center was designed and built to the standards of a medical facility, where every material selection was carefully included to support a restorative and rehabilitative environment. The facility represents a paradigm shift in the way incarcerated individual-patient care is delivered.

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION

California Prison Receivership Program, Correctional Healthcare Facilities

CALIFORNIA— HDR was one of the lead participants in determining the program and operations model, and ultimately, the design, for the 5,000 mental health beds that the California Prison Receivership intended to place co-located with 5,000 medical beds at seven sites. These mental health beds were proposed to deal with a variety of different acuity levels, and as such, each unit was custom designed to meet that acuity’s need, while also remaining flexible in its design approach.

In determining each design, careful attention was paid to each group’s security and programming needs. Patients of milder acuity were to be housed more communally with many different options for self-directed activity, as well as easy access to more structured program elements. Individuals of higher acuity, or those more tending to violent actions, were to be placed in a higher security environment, with more safeguards for incarcerated individuals and staff.

Special attention was also given toward landscaping, aesthetics and special quality, as

all of those elements can positively contribute to the rehabilitation and re-assimilation of these individuals into general population and ultimately, society.

Mental Health Services Planning utilized multiple approaches, including:

• User group meetings – facilitated and participated groups that met consistently throughout the process.

• Facility Space Program – review and revision of housing, support, program areas and medical services.

• Process Flow Mapping – “A Day in the Life of a Mental Health Patient.”

• Capacity Studies – Validation of patient volume, utilization and space.

• LEAN planning methods for operational planning and design initiatives – utilized Value Stream Mapping to determine “Future State” for the various process in order to eliminate waste and capturing efficiencies for patients and staff. Utilized A3s as a problem solving and decision-making tool.

California Correctional Health Care Facility (CHCF)

STOCKTON, CA— California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) CHCF is the culmination of three and a half years of planning, starting with the California Prison Receiver (CPR) project. CPR was created when a panel of federal judges took control of CDCR’s healthcare program due to multiple lawsuits alleging inadequate care. The Receiver was appointed to reform the system to bring CDCR’s care up to a constitutionally adequate standard. Our team consisted of Clark, McCarthy, HDR, and HGA (CMHH). We were selected as one of three teams for the “co-opetition” where three design build teams cooperated utilizing LEAN design principles to establish a prototype design for what was to be seven $800M facilities. We were initially named as the selected team for the Stockton facility. This phase established many of the criteria that would later be included in the bridging documents.

packages, and the original CMHH team was selected for Package #2 which included the main buildings inside the secure perimeter, including housing and treatment.

Housing represented the vast majority of buildings on the site, so improvements there would have the greatest impact. Our analysis resulted in changes to the housing units which had a rather significant impact on the quality of the day lighting. This allowed a significant improvement in the feel of the space as well as security due to less glare and more uniformity in the light quality. We decoupled the building shell from the interiors, allowing the users more time to make decisions while we were able to get construction started almost immediately. We also opted to not use precast cell modules, opting instead for a modular wall system which allows even greater flexibility, now and in the future. The central Facilities Shared Services building HDR’s redesign updated the program, strategically reduced square footage through functional optimization through Refined Adjacencies, Circulation, Flexibility Over Time, and Wayfinding.

WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Washington State Penitentiary, North Close Custody Facility Expansion

WALLA WALLA, WA— In a joint venture with Turner Construction Company, we provided design and construction services on the integrated single source design/build project for the Washington State Department of Corrections.

The mission of this expansion project was to provide 900+ high security beds at a historic state penitentiary, not only providing much-need additional beds, but also reorganizing and revitalizing the campus. People and product flows were simplified and clarified; staff and land-use efficiency was maximized. This facility breaks new ground by being a highly sustainable LEED-NC Silver facility. This initiative included energy saving implementations, local construction participation, and creative land planning.

In addition, the project was delivered using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model within a design-build setting. This resulted in a project that was seamless in its transition from design to construction, providing the owner with a higher level of quality and completeness. Operational concepts were more completely translated into the final product, not only in general design layout but in the details used.

The project is LEED- NC Silver from the U.S. Green Building Council.

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE

2,250-bed Prototype and Site Adapts

TEXAS— In 1985, HDR provided professional programming and design services for a 2,250bed prototype for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Programming, design, and construction documents for the facility were completed in 92 working days. HDR has provided services for seven site adaptations of the prototype.

The facility was designed as a multiple classification unit accommodating medium, maximum, and administrative segregation individuals. General population was housed in four, 432-bed housing subgroups clustered around a central support core consisting of administration, medical, education, laundry, and food services facilities. The administrative segregation unit was separated from the general population, but relies on the central support core for delivery of services to the unit.

Administrative segregation residents were housed in six housing modules of 84 rooms each grouped along a central spine.

HDR has been responsible for facilities located at Palestine, Amarillo, Gatesville, Abilene, Beeville, Livingston, Kenedy, and Beaumont and has provided housing, program, and support space for 18,000 incarcerated individuals over an eight-year period.

Most recently, HDR has provided architectural and engineering services to TDCJ for various renovations and expansions through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. These projects include fire suppression and alarm upgrades at the Beto, Huntsville, and Chase Field Units and a waste water treatment facility for the Wainwright Unit in Lovelady, Texas.

Prototype and Site Adapts

CALIFORNIA— After the success of our housing design at Folsom, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) retained us to site adapt the Level I (minimum security dormitories) and Level IV Maximum Security Housing units at the state prison complexes at Pelican Bay and Corcoran. Subsequent to the completion of these projects, we were retained to complete Level IV Maximum Security Housing units at the prison complexes in Susanville and Soledad.

The Level IV housing building was referred to as the 180 unit, because complete resident surveillance from the unit’s elevated control room was achieved within a 180 arc. The unit provided an extremely small pod size, with two pods of 20 rooms and one of 24 under the supervision of a single control post. The unit officer also had direct visual control over the unit’s exercise yard and the central resident dining and program space shared with the other

64-room unit in the building. Each of the two control posts was observable from the other. The features, coupled with secure access to each control room for arming and emergency escape, made the unit extremely safe for staff, a very important consideration in the selection of this design as a prototype for housing the higher security level individuals in California.

The 180 units site adapted at Corcoran was designated SHU (Special Housing Unit), the highest security classification in the California system. The central space shared by the two, 64-room units has been redesigned to provide unit management, counseling, and other program delivery at the housing unit. Modified and upgraded as a result of a formal post occupancy evaluation process, newer units feature stateof-the-art electronic locking and control systems.

HDR has continued to provide services to CDCR for the past 30+ years on projects ranging from smaller renovation and addition projects to infill and large campuses exceeding 1,700 beds.

Illinois Medium Security Facility

LAWRENCEVILLE, IL—The Illinois Medium Security Prison at Lawrenceville is a highmedium security prison with a capacity of over 2,300 individuals in 966 rooms. The full build-out design consisted of eight general population housing units, each housing 276 individuals in 138 rooms in a linear configuration derived from prototypical housing units in use by the Department of Corrections. The center of the design is a sub-divide for incarcerated population into smaller, more manageable groupings for daily activities. The housing units were arranged on either side of a central yard, dividing the population in half. Each half of the housing capacity is then further divided, with two housing units sharing an exercise yard.

The separation carries throughout the facility with the separation being accomplished through a combination of physical barriers, 4 separate dining halls, and operational guidelines. The design also consisted of a drug treatment facility to help residents through addictions and mental health issues that arise when individuals first come to the facility.

The Lawrenceville prison is a full service facility and includes all support services necessary to serve the incarcerated population.

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Hopkins Park Women’s Correctional Facility

HOPKINS PARK, IL— Located 60 miles south of Chicago near Kankakee, the Hopkins Park Women’s Correctional Facility serves as the state’s maximum security women’s correctional facility. The maximum security facility is the reception and classification center for incarcerated women in the State of Illinois.

Although the facility is maximum security, our designers had taken a number of extra steps to make the facility less oppressive. The use of warm colors, human-scaled general population areas, and canopies at entrances to the buildings, break down the large scale of the institutional buildings. Acoustic techniques were employed to dampen reverberation. The introduction of outdoor and indoor lighting schemes was designed to enhance observation of residents while creating a less institutional appearance and atmosphere. Natural daylight was used where possible. Also included in the design was a buffer zone with a retention pond, to help diminish the view from the highway.

A visiting area, which blocks views of the inside of the correctional facility, was designed for the women to visit their families and children in a normal atmosphere. The area included a playground for visiting children, and the overall design encouraged a congenial atmosphere which aided in the residents’ rehabilitation.

The 17 building correctional campus has 1,800 beds, of which 100 were designated for a minimum security unit, located outside the maximum security section. Also included was a kitchen where residents can prepare their own meals, a medical facility which included neonatal care equipment, and numerous classrooms for courses such as culinary arts and computer maintenance.

The Reception and Classification facility, collocated at Hopkins Park Women’s Correctional Facility, was a clearinghouse for all of Illinois’ incarcerated women. They remain at the facility for approximately a month before moving on to the appropriate facility.

CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

York Correctional Institute Addition at the Connecticut Correctional Institute for Women

NIANTIC, CT— Since the establishment in 1918 of the Connecticut State Farm for Women at Niantic, now known as York Correctional Institute, the site has served as the primary provider of correctional services for women in the State. The capability of the physical plant fails to support the increasingly taxed plant caused by the rapid growth and “hardening” of the incarcerated population.

The issues were addressed by the addition of a new unit, expanding the capacity of the site to over 1,160 beds. The design for the New York Correctional Institute was intended to provide a setting in which normative operations can accommodate higher risk individuals while maximizing program participation.

Support service facilities were an essential component of our design. Central dining facilities were provided in both units, supported by local retherm kitchens and a central cook/ chill production kitchen. Resident work and

training facilities, including the central kitchen, were consolidated in the new unit with a physical sallyport for admitting CCIN residents. The new and old institutions enjoyed expanded social services programs, intake facilities, medical and psychiatric services, and fitness and recreation activities.

Functions provided by the Medical Health Services include the following: medical records, intake screening; sick call; emergency medical care; clinical services (x-ray, optometry/ ophthalmology, obstetrics/ gynecology, gastro-neurology, dermatology, ENT, infectious diseases, orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, urology, and neurology); dental/orthodontic; laboratory; pharmacy; medication issue and control; and inpatient services.

KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Little Sandy Correctional Complex

SANDY HOOK, KY— HDR staff guided the Kentucky Department of Corrections (KDOC) through its first Design-Build project. They were very receptive to our ideas, and, in fact, greatly assisted in transforming concepts into operational design.

The first phase of the 1,790-bed medium security facility in Elliott County, Kentucky, represents the Commonwealth’s first effort a major design/build project, particularly for corrections. The Arch II/HDR/HMB team was selected to assist the Commonwealth in planning, programming, designing, and assisting with procurement and design/construction review of the project from start to finish.

In programming the facility, the team worked closely with representatives from the Division of Engineering and the Department of Corrections. The facility at Green River was used as a base design in terms of program elements, but was modified considerably for the specific mission. One major modification was increasing the number of wings of the standard housing from three wings to four, gaining considerable economy in the final cost. Other innovations

included arranging the facility around a central ‘quad,’ a central guard tower with tunnel access, card readers on room doors replacing the use of keys and generally new designs for each component of the facility.

Significant work was done to modify the very challenging site, as well as identifying utilities, a new highway route and environmental mitigation. Importantly, much planning was done by the team to accommodate the future housing units, which will add 816 new beds in the future Phase II.

The new facility also planned for the needs of medical and mental health patients. The medical department included four isolation rooms with negative air pressure for TB patients, they could also be used for out-patient room as well. All the rooms are ADA compliant.

The minimum security unit outside the main perimeter was designed with the possibility that the DOC would need a nursing home in the near future, and included two additional housing units.

COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

San Carlos Correctional Facility Addition

PUEBLO, CO— HDR provided planning services for the Facility Program Plan and Construction Estimate for the expansion of the San Carlos Correctional Facility (SCCF) to a capacity of 500 beds. Our team provided architectural and engineering services for the building expansion.

The expansion was planned to be accomplished through the addition of 250 maximum security beds in single occupancy rooms. The San Carlos Correctional Facility was initially planned to provide special mental health treatment services for 250 individuals incarcerated in the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC). Construction was completed in July of 1995, and the Facility currently operates at capacity. The need for eventual expansion to 500 beds was recognized from the project’s inception.

This expansion was planned to be accomplished through the construction of additional housing with a capacity of 250 beds, associated supervision and treatment spaces. New construction would also be required to replace the existing food service facilities and medical clinic which are inadequate to support the expanded population. The renovation of

existing facilities would be required to increase program activity space, additional classroom and library space, and substantial correctional industries work space.

Incarcerated individuals with serious mental illness currently comprise over 16% of the total CDOC population. These individuals are identified by the same diagnostic criteria which the Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health uses to identify target populations for state funded, community, mental health services. This group includes patients with serious mental illnesses that might produce significant impairment in the individual’s ability to function. Diagnoses include schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, bi-polar disorders, and major affective disorders.

The American Institute of Architecture, Committee on Architecture for Justice, awarded the San Carlos Correctional Facility Addition the Design Excellence in Justice Facility Design.

The project was not constructed due to lack of state funding.
