Architect’s Statement
The project team was retained by the county to provide full program verification, planning, design, and construction services for this 317,948-square-foot, full-service juvenile justice campus employing a construction manager “at-risk” project delivery methodology. Major components of the project include the Juvenile Hall composed of the assessment center, intake/release, housing (including a dual diagnosis unit), visiting, facility support, health services, mental health, food service, programs, education, girls camp and administration, and youth services (including Juvenile Court, Probation Department Administration, Juvenile Probation, Community School/Day Reporting), and two group receiving homes. The facilities for the campus were programmed and designed to facilitate sharing of services in an environment that is supportive of the clients (youth, families, and community) as well as service providers, which include juvenile courts, health service agency, mental health agency, human services agency, county Office of Education, Public Works, and Probation Department.
