Delaware County Justice Campus

Delaware County Justice Campus Muncie, IN Challenge: Initially, DCCM was asked to determine the best means to accommodate the County’s long-term justice system space needs, including the expansion of existing facilities, building new on a greenfield site, and the consideration of several existing facilities for adaptive reuse. Solution: DCCM’s recommendation at the conclusion of the study was to purchase the vacant middle school and utilize it for the justice system’s needs. The County then hired DCCM to not only design the proposed facility but to also develop and construct the facility utilizing the Indiana’s Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) statute. The Delaware County Justice Center project is an adaptive reuse project that converts a decommissioned middle school into a complete justice facility. It houses all county justice departments under one roof, including the prosecutor, probation, five courts, clerk, family support and IV-D court, sheriff’s office, community corrections, a 500-bed jail, and all necessary support and ancillary spaces. Included in the design are fully functional large-scale laundry and kitchen facilities, as well as ample space to build on and expand as needed in the future. The justice center is comprised of over 247,000-sf on two levels and all the departments are interconnected for maximum operational efficiency. The $47M project was completed in 2020 without a single change order to the owner.

Hancock County Jail

Hancock County Jail Hancock County, IN Challenge: The Hancock County Board of Commissioners were seeking architectural design services to renovate the current county jail and community corrections building to include a new space for community corrections department, probation, and the Prosecutor. Solution: DCCM worked closely with the Hancock County Commissioners, Council, Sheriff, stakeholders, and staff to develop the space and operational requirements for two options (architectural space program), including the remodel of the existing facilities (courthouse, existing jail, and community corrections) and a proposed design for a new jail facility on County-owned farm land east of Greenfield. The County opted for the new, 117,000 square foot jail, master planned to allow for projected growth over the next 20 years, including a future Sheriff administration component and adjacent County/commercial development along US 40. The housing pods were designed for 440 beds with the shell space for an additional 136 beds. A future pod was master planned for an additional housing pod for up to 600 more beds. Support buildings for evidence, maintenance, etc., were also provided. In addition to housing, the jail included facilities for intake, booking, kitchen, laundry, and a small administration component. Estimated construction cost is approximately $38M. The project was bid under budget and was completed in 2021. At a Glance 117,000 Square Feet $38 million Project Cost Markets Buildings Government Services Buildings & Places Architecture Justice MEP
