The Women's Correctional Story
The new women’s correctional dormitory was an addition to a male dormitory that Satellite Shelters provided to the customer in 2002.
Through an industry leading design/build process, Satellite Shelters created an addition that matched the existing structure, while providing the required segregated areas for the male and female population. A common corridor connected the older and newer sections, allowing staff to access both dormitory buildings.
The Solution
The building addition was comprised of four 14′ x 62′ modules with a custom floor plan to meet the correctional guidelines for a half way house dormitory. A different manufacturer provided the new modules with careful attention needed to match structural and finish materials. An updated climate control system provided efficient and comfortable conditions in all areas of the building.
