Milan Federal Correctional Institute. U.S. Department of Justice

Project Details

This 204 bed medium security housing facility was added to the 34- building complex of the Milan Federal Correctional Institution.  It is located on a 332-acre site which has been owned and opearted by the US Dept. of Justice since 1931. Completed 2 months ahead of its 14-month schedule, the addition greatly alleviated the pressures of operating the facility which had been 75% over the rated capacity. The design incorporates the bow-tie configuration which connects 2 triangular housing sections at a central point.  This central section contains the main control room and houses the HVAC system equipment.

Highlights include:

204 beds

Weight room and gymnasium

Cast-in-place concrete construction

In-house fabrication of miscellaneous steel

Brick masonry windows

Pre-cast security windows
