Kimball has provided design services for more than 140 correctional
facility projects in 14 states in the last 30 years. These
facilities represent the three basic architectural/management
models:
-
Linear-Intermittent Surveillance
-
Podular-Remote Surveillance
-
Podular-Direct Supervision
In each case, Kimball’s experience over the years indicates the need
to analyze a proposed project for three important considerations:
-
First Cost (Construction)
-
Long-Term Cost (Operational)
-
Effectiveness of Management
While Kimball has designed facilities for municipal, county,
regional, state, and federal jurisdictions, the vast majority have
been for county governments. Our experience with counties goes back
more than 30 years.
Kimball
has been recognized by the American Correctional Association and the
American Institute of Architects for 24 National Justice Awards for
correctional facilities. This recognition involves efficiency of
the plan, cost-effective solutions minimizing staff and energy
consumption, and maximum flexibility in dealing with future needs.
