Project Overview
Expansion design for the Macomb County Jail focusing on mental health treatment capacity and modern intake/assessment operations. The facility addresses growing needs for behavioral health services within the justice system.
This project required innovative layout strategies to integrate therapeutic environments within a secure detention framework, allowing for effective mental health treatment while maintaining operational security.
