Project:
Clay County Government Campus
NATIONAL EAGLE AWARD WINNER
This Clay County Governmental Campus project in Moorhead, MN, spanned four years, and included the construction of two buildings, the demolition of two buildings, plus the renovation and building of three new additions. Adding to the complexity during this time, inmates were housed on campus during the entire construction timeline. Another challenge the team faced was that the new Correctional Center was built over an existing inmate transfer underground tunnel, which remained intact and part of the final design. Even with all these challenges, the project was completed under budget and on-schedule. From the beginning, the Clay County Correctional staff wanted the new Correctional Center to function differently as the staff focused on addressing the mental health of future inmates. Incorporated in the design and construction of this building was a state-of-the-art, 18-bed behavioral facility which provided softer furnishings and individual cells which were clustered in groups of four with a lounge and programming space. The Law Enforcement Center is a unique partnership where Clay County and the City of Moorhead, MN share the facility.
