MD Correctional Institute for Women, Jessup
Owner: Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services
On site work included:
- Concrete and brick work
- Structural steel, millwork and roofing
- Interior finishes and door hardware
- Mechanical, electrical, sprinkler and walk in boxes
The project required high level of security and hygiene while working. Project planning and execution was a challenge for reasons listed below:
- Kitchen prepares about 7,500 meals per day, operational almost all the time
- Phased project with extensive coordination to keep the old kitchen operational
- Addition was completed while the kitchen and dining room was operational
The project required special care, having a historic facade and being located in a busy area, posed several challenges that were met during its execution:
- Working under tight conditions while maintaining flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
- Shoring and maintaining the historic facade in safe conditions during construction
- Coordinating material delivery with very limited storage space available at site
