Sundt and joint venture partner Layton Construction are building a $125 million replacement jail for San Mateo County in Redwood City, Calif. Located on a 4.85-acre site, the jail construction project includes a three-story housing unit and support wing. The first floor will include a natural light-filled visitor lobby, video visitation area, kitchen, laundry facility and loading docks. The second floor will include jail administration space, transitional housing, a medical clinic, locker rooms and staff dining with outside eating areas.
HOK, the project architect, has incorporated several features that emphasize sustainability. The goal is to earn LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and exceed state requirements for energy efficiency.
The Construction Manager at Risk project is scheduled to be complete and open for use in mid-2015.
