Scope of work
1,120,000 sq ft.
The Bronx Facility will provide 1,040 beds, a proportion of which will support people in custody who would benefit from enhanced mental and medical health services. The Facility will provide space for on-site services and programming, food service, recreation, educational and related services, administration, security, staff support, building operations, K-9 unit, and a vehicle sally port and loading dock area. An underground parking garage must provide 295 accessory parking spaces for DOC and CHS staff. The Parole Court included in the ULURP drawings is no longer part of the program; it will be relocated to another site.
The interior planning and design is developed for optimum operation, security, sustainability and resiliency while being a living building that has flexibility for changing needs through time.
Concept - The Public Lobby of the facility is a continuation of the outdoor plaza and the goal is to create a space for all to feel welcome and secure while having clarity as far as circulation. The mission is to provide a sense of civic pride, dignity, be friendly and approachable, comfortable for all group sizes.
Being a 24-hour building, the lobby will incorporate elements that are easy to maintain, a variety of furniture seating types, textures, color and art in addition to a child-friendly immersive play area.
A high end residential building, a destination residential experience enhanced by unmatched amenities and an activated lifestyle within the building, the children’s playroom is part of that design approach.
