Pueblo Justice Center Dormitory

Project Info

New 51,110 sf dorm-style annex to the Pueblo County Jail for non-violent inmates only. The new facility included an 11,575 sf kitchen and a 39,535 sf dormitory. The inmate accommodations were made up of four pods of 80 beds each, along with tables and chairs, clothes washer and dryer, and a snack area with a sink and microwave. Each pod has its own recreation area and a conference room where inmates can meet with attorneys, take classes or attend religious services. The building has its own master control booth where officers can monitor security cameras, open doors, and keep an eye on interior and exterior of the facility. Exterior work included a parking lot with landscape islands and a decorative wrought-iron fence on the east and west sides of the building.
