Remodeling of a detention facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for the remodel of a detention facility.

This project will remodel the probation offices on floors A-8 & A-11 at the Hennepin County Government Center (HCGC), located at 300 S Sixth Street in downtown Minneapolis, including providing new secure interview rooms for client meetings and hybrid work setting for staff. Purpose & Description: The Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) provides Adult Pre-Adjudication, Probation, and Parole services to its clients in several locations within Hennepin County, including 3 different floors of the Government Center. This project will create zones of security, secure interview rooms and new hybrid office space for DOCCR Probation staff on floors A-8 and A-11 of the Government Center, in accordance with the overall goals of the DOCCR Adult Field Services Long-Range Plan. DOCCR's current workspaces within the Government Center do not adequately meet these demands. The office spaces on A-8, and A-11 have not been updated or improved since the mid 90's. The current physical design of the floors consists of a maze of individual offices and hallways. These floors within the Government Center have never been fully remodeled and consist of components that are not easily adapted to new uses. The change over from offices to meeting spaces, as well as the addition of new security zones will be more complex due to the age and makeup of existing walls and structures. Some wall reconfiguration is anticipated to change the use of spaces and to meet ADA standards for doorways. Secure interview rooms on A-8 & A-11 will provide client facing meeting spaces which are safe, secure, and away from staff only workspace. Zones of security is an established concept which has been implemented in several locations by DOCCR in both owned and leased locations. Additionally, the county's new hybrid workspace standards will be used to guide the remodeling of staff office space on each floor. Office modifications will include huddle rooms, open collaborative spaces, wellness rooms, break rooms, and hoteling stations. Remodeled space on A-8 will include a refresh of the existing urinalysis (U/A) collection and processing lab. Each floor has approximately 13,000 USF with the total area of two floors totaling approximately 26,000 USF.
