Site work and renovation of a mixed-use development in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility; and for site work for a detention facility.

This project will carry-out several facility modifications within the Juvenile Detention Center to maintain safety and security as well as provide efficiencies and improved working conditions that match standards across the county. Purpose & Description: The Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) operates the Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) located in downtown Minneapolis. As part of the ongoing upkeep of the facility, several updates are needed to maintain the building. The following are several items needing replacement or remodeled: Several doors are at the end of their life cycle and need to be replaced for safety and security concerns. The curtain-style gymnasium divider needs replacement as it is inoperable due to mechanical failure and ineffective as a secure barrier between the two halves of the gymnasium. Dayroom furniture in several living units is in need of replacement. The current furniture was repurposed from the Hennepin County Home School in the early 2000s and are discolored and constructed of hard plastic. Remodel and re-design the Women's and Men's bathrooms and showers to also include a wellness room, all-gender shower and bathrooms, laundry room, uniform storage rooms, and a community space for debriefings and required documentation. Add staff lockers outside of the secure perimeter to protect established zones of security. Update staff breakroom cabinets and amenities. Provide efficiencies and technical advancement to support remote courtrooms at the JDC; create efficient storage for body camera docking stations. Add a new body scanner for youth weapons/contraband screening, and a new metal detector for visitors. Conduct an acoustical study in the facility's living units and programing areas and make improvements as recommended. Enhance the security around the outdoor recreation space as well as resurface the playground area within this space. Lower level IDF (data closet) room has a mesh cage separating the room from the storage area. The location and footprint are adequate but does not meet IT's current security and mechanical standards.
