A 65,000sf Detention Center with housing for up to 120 inmates. The facility includes a booking area with three safe cells, kitchen, two control rooms and a shell space for the potential to add housing for 40 more inmates. The facility also includes training and administration areas. 12 visitation video booths are included for outside visitors to visit with inmates. 

The facility is built on a 11 acre site and consists of a masonry load bearing structure with hollow-core precast concrete roof and floor planks for the detention area, steel roof joists and metal deck for the remainder of the building, with a brick veneer and a modified bitumen roof.

Working with Bordeaux has been a distinct pleasure. Their attention to detail along with being proactive and willing to work in a fluid manner has been a huge help in my ability to manage the project much more efficiently regarding both time and money. It has been nice to work with a group that is definitely more concerned about their projects than just getting started, doing the work, turning over, and moving on. Bordeaux has truly become a partner with Chatham County.
