El Paso County CHIPS
Colorado Springs, Colorado
New 6-story 125,000 SF housing building, approximately 50,000 SF of addition and renovation to the existing Criminal Justice Center Building, and a new 12,000 SF evidence storage building. The new housing facility contains 12 housing wards with 72 beds each for a total capacity of 864 beds. Renovation work included existing housing units, exercise, administration, intake, medical, kitchen, laundry, maintenance, and storage areas.
Unique Features:
- This project implemented the "Gateways through the Rockies" program, which puts carefully selected nonviolent offenders to work on the secured jobsite, allowing them to be productive participants.
- All work completed while the facility remained fully operational and fully secure, requiring a tremendous amount of planning and coordination.
