Project Background and Priorities
Phelps County hired GGA to assess options for expanding their existing facility and allow them to take advantage of Rolla’s location and house detainees from other agencies.
Solution
It was determined that a 96-bed addition would be constructed on the back of the current Jail. The Jail addition included upgrades to support services: a new booking and intake area, vehicle sallyport, medical evaluation, holding facilities, and activity space for detainees. This addition will significantly increase the safety and efficiency of the facility.
The space vacated by the original booking and intake will now be renovated as phase two for special needs housing and work release.
