BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY

Relying on decades of experience in corrections and law enforcement facilities, we were eager to showcase our expertise. This addition includes over 70 cells, inmate intake rooms, a drive-through sally port, administrative and support spaces, and sheriff’s offices. The extensive remodel introduced new conference rooms, interview rooms, and a dispatch center. Designed to house 92 inmates, Burnett County can increase its capacity with “double-bunking” in the cells, allowing them to meet the Department of Corrections’ inmate classification requirements, while also accommodating inmate transfers and future growth.

The entire facility is outfitted with innovative designs and increased technology. At the heart of the jail is an octagon-shaped master control room, strategically designed to provide unobstructed sight lines into each two-story cell pod. A secure chase, constructed behind the jail cells, allows for convenient, safe, and compliant maintenance without having to temporarily relocate inmates. Advanced screening equipment is stationed in the intake areas, and the commercial kitchen and laundry facilities can serve the needs of the facility based on current inmate and staff needs, with the capacity to scale for future growth. Designed and built to last for generations, this public safety building now sets a new standard for future county facilities in Wisconsin.
