Story

Design Program:  Byce & Associates, Inc.,  provided design services for the mechanical, electrical and security systems for a 29,500 square foot addition.  The addition included a new master control center, booking area, detox cells, holding cells, security garage, multipurpose room and a full   service kitchen.  The original building was updated to include new Sheriff's offices and a new 911 Central  Dispatch Center. 

The 22,000 square foot existing building houses 52 beds for inmates.  The cell blocks were set up with a middle corridor & catwalk with bars separating cells from the outer wall.

Design Challenges:  Phasing of construction was a unique challenge as the building was required to remain occupied during construction.  The existing master control center did not provide acceptable viewing of inmate cells; the new design required improved viewing of new inmate cells.
