The Big Picture
This new 220,000 square foot multi building campus includes an adult forensic medicine facility for housing the criminally insane. The steel and masonry construction includes high security detention and surveillance systems, medical care facilities, dental, recreation, food service, laundry and maintenance facilities.
Ingenuity in Action
The project was designed with multiple buildings, of which some were mirror images. This design allowed us to prepare a schedule that allowed the construction of various buildings to occur simultaneously. We were able to complete the project, using this coordinated approach, two months early.
