Project

Kalamazoo County Jail

The design incorporates a new intake and processing area allowing for a smooth operational sequence in the intake, arraignment, and classification process. Adjacent housing units were designed to provide specialty housing for inmates who have mental health and behavioral issues. By removing the burden of these specialty functions, the existing housing can better serve the incarceration needs of the County for the next 10 to 20 years. Once the facility reaches capacity, the future phases of construction can be accomplished without the need to re-design or remodel the existing facility or phase one housing.
