Project Scope
Caddell, in joint venture with Whitesell-Green, designed and constructed a new state-of-the-art 300,000 SF detention facility on a 19-acre property adjacent to an existing jail. The three-story building houses 720 inmates and includes a secure sallyport, an inmate intake and receiving area, dining and kitchen service areas which serve both the old and new facilities, and all associated MEP, civil, and environmental systems.
Scope also included a 28,500 SF healthcare facility, and uninterruptible power supply and full redundancy for critical communications and security systems as well as controls for doors, lighting, speakers, climate systems, and alarms.
The new facility anchors a redevelopment initiative for an economically depressed section of Pensacola. It was specifically designed to complement future commercial office and retail neighbors and “not look like a jail.”
