BARRY J. NIDORF JUVENILE HALL
SYLMAR, CALIFORNIA
This project was designed to satisfy the needs of very complex, youthful-offenders, requirements for campus recreation areas, and ADA parameters. The design was a collaborative effort among facility staff, probation leadership, county architects, and our architectural team. After reviewing several design options, building materials and technical systems, an architectural scheme organized by a two-story building with single level housing plans, consisting of eight residential units, each having 20 room living units and multipurpose spaces, was selected.
Concrete masonry units were used as an inside/outside material, and were selected for durability, cost, security and the ability to match the existing masonry block, brick and concrete facility. The addition of color and texture to the concrete block masonry, and the use of coursing techniques, were used to create a more contemporary image for the project.
