Remodeling of a detention facility in Plymouth, Minnesota. Completed plans call for the remodel of a 17,600-square-foot detention facility.

This project will remodel vacant areas in the Adult Corrections Facility (ACF) Industry Building to provide programming space for Child Visitation Area, Vocational Education Center for residents, and an ACF Staff Training Center. Purpose & Description: The Adult Corrections Facility's Industry Building, located at 1145 Shenandoah Lane in Plymouth, Minnesota, requires remodeling to accommodate specialized programming for staff, residents, and children of residents. The Children Visitation Area will be a planned safe space for residents who are mothers or fathers to visit with their child face to face in a setting conducive to this activity. The purpose of this Vocational Education Center is to provide that bridge to residents who are seeking new job skills. The Vocational Education Center will have a series of classrooms available to residents with training in the industrial trades. Simulation of skills will be provided to residents making it possible for them to earn initial training certificates. These certificates will allow the resident to continue with more hands-on intensive training in that trade. Conference rooms will be designed to facilitate the simulations and the technical overview by the instructor. The ACF Staff Training Center is a space provided to train staff in situational resident control using simulated environments such as a typical Men's individual living unit and a typical Women's living unit (often shared with one or more residents). The use of these simulated environments to train staff for possible high-risk situations aims to reduce the risk of staff and inmate harm or injuries. Additionally, a new office space for staff will be incorporated. The overall project size will be approximately 17,600 USF. This project is included in the County's 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of February 12, 2026, bidding is scheduled to occur in fourth quarter 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
