Completed in a rural part of Arizona, the Yuma County Detention Annex included an expansion to an operating correctional facility for juveniles convicted of adult offenses. This expansion consisted of 81 cells, a prisoner tunnel, a single master control room, a tunnel complex, an underground parking facility, a warehouse facility, and administrative offices. The scope of work also included a basement configured for future shooting range, secure enclosure for evidence lock-up, recreation enclosure for inmates, and maintenance equipment storage space.
The State of Wyoming Department of Corrections initially sought hard bids on the construction of the new Medium Correctional Institution in Torrington. When bids came back nearly twice the amount of the original budget, the Wyoming officials, along with the design firm and Layton Construction, worked closely through a preconstruction partnership to bring the construction costs within budget.
Layton provided both preconstruction and construction services for West Valley’s new, ground-up police headquarters. As the second largest city in Utah, West Valley’s expanding police force required a larger facility that met their spatial and technology needs, as well as the needs of the growing community.
The Ute Indian Tribal Justice Center is a jail and courts facility that includes spaces for juvenile detention, adult detention, law enforcement and courts. The facility functions under direct supervision, allowing the detention staff to build personal relationships with the inmates. This aids in the operation of a safely run facility while reducing the recidivism numbers.
The Utah State Prison relocation project proved to be a challenging project for Layton and other key stakeholders. Between labor shortages, tariffs, and unforeseen circumstances, the project faced several hurdles. However, the Layton team worked diligently to overcome challenges and work with necessary changes.
Layton was contracted as the design-assist CM/GC to build the new Uintah County Public Safety Complex, which was built to replace an outdated facility and designed to accommodate future expansion.
In a joint venture with Sundt Construction, Layton completed a design-build expansion of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility with California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). This project is the first design-build project for corrections in the state of California. The expansion greatly increases the prison’s capacity by 792 beds, while also improving inmate healthcare and incorporating various energy efficient features.
Layton partnered with Sundt Construction to complete the new Maple Street Correctional Center. The project involved remediation of a brownfield site and demolition of existing structures to prepare 4.8 acres for development of a new 832-bed jail complex. The new facility includes inmate housing, support spaces, a natural light-filled visitor lobby, video visitation area, intake, full-service kitchen, laundry facility, locker rooms, staff dining with outside eating area, and loading docks. Security on this project became extremely important as completed parts of the jail were occupied as the team completed the remaining tenant improvements.
The Nye County Jail was constructed on the same block as the existing courthouse, jail, county offices, and animal control services. With the exception of the housing area, which is two levels, the building spans a single level and is mainly comprised of concrete and CMU.
