BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY

Relying on our decades of experience in corrections and law enforcement facilities, we were eager to showcase our expertise. This 58,000 square foot addition includes over 70 cells, reporting rooms, a drive-through sally port, administrative and support spaces, and sheriff’s offices. The extensive remodel converted existing rooms into conference rooms, interview rooms, and a new dispatch center. Intended to house 92 inmates, Burnett County can increase its capacity with “double-bunking” in the cells, allowing them to accept inmate transfers from neighboring counties. The entire facility is outfitted with innovative designs and technology. An octagon-shaped, secure monitoring area is located at the center of the jail, designed for unobstructed sight lines into each two-story pod. A secure chase, constructed behind the jail cells, allows for safe maintenance, replacements, and upkeep without having to relocate inmates. Advanced screening equipment is stationed in the intake areas and the commercial kitchen and laundry facilities can produce hundreds of meals per day. Designed and built to last for generations to come, this public safety building is now a standard for future facilities in the state.
