This 157,731 sf five-story unit is part of the North Carolina Central Prison System’s maximum-security complex. Corridors connect it to the Regional Medical Center located on the same site. The architects at Elevatus designed both facilities.

Three levels of treatment–Crisis, Intensive, and Residential–are provided in the Mental Health Facility, which also offers various program services, such as group therapy, multi-purpose activity space, a team center, a library, an arts-and-crafts center, housing units, outside recreation and rooftop recreation areas, treatment team support spaces, administrative offices, an operations center, and an admissions/discharge area.

A milestone to remember 🚧

Last Friday, the Allen County Jail project celebrated its Steel Topping-Off Ceremony, marking progress as the topping-off beam was raised into place with county leaders, the Allen County Sheriff’s Department, Elevatus, and Weigand Construction.

Allen County Sheriff Troy Hershberger shared:

“We are not just building a new facility. We are building for the future of public safety, rehabilitation, and our community.”

They (Elevatus) care about our community. They want it to be a place where there's beautiful spaces that serve the community and meet the needs of the community and we couldn't be more thankful for them and their partnership through this process.

Connie Heflin

FWCS appreciates the thoughtful approach and client-centered focus that the Education Team at Elevatus brings to the design of our projects. As the modern K-12 environment evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of our students, Elevatus has continued to bring innovative design ideas to the table while maintaining a commitment to quality and long-term sustainability of the built product. The learning environments that we create today will continue to provide well for the needs of our staff, students, and community for many years to come.

Heather Krebs

Capital Projects Coordinator, Fort Wayne Community Schools

I am delighted to express my utmost appreciation for the outstanding work that Elevatus Architecture has done in designing our new central office. Their innovative and thoughtful approach to the project will result in a state-of-the-art facility that exceeds our expectations. Their dedication to creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space will greatly improve our administrative operations, and their professionalism and timely execution have made this a very enjoyable process. I wholeheartedly recommend Elevatus for their exceptional architectural services and look forward to potential future collaborations with them.

Wayne Barker

Superintendent, Northwest Allen County Schools

Elevatus stays involved throughout the entire construction process. This high level of service is very important to us because things inevitably shift and change despite the best planning. We need them to stay involved so that our budget is not affected. In the end, our projects are delivered on time and on budget and Elevatus contributes to that "now expected" outcome.

Judy Roy

Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Indiana Tech

Elevatus did an excellent job helping us navigate our project in Huntington, IN and developed architectural plans very timely and with an appreciated attention to every detail. We highly recommend this firm.

Justin Claud, Esq.

Chief Legal Officer, Boca Recovery Center

When our County was looking for an architecture firm to help us with the process of building a new jail, Elevatus was an easy choice for me. This was a project entirely out of my skill set, but I knew we only had one chance to get it right. Their (Elevatus) knowledge and professionalism is unmatched.

Commissioner Theresa Baysinger

Whitley County Commissioner

Elevatus provided exceptional leadership that was always available, always helpful, and with a client's architect frame of mind. All deliverables were delivered on time. In several cases, Elevatus provided deliverables in advance of deadlines and offered alternatives that saved the company additional money.

Scott Fergusson

Founder, Chapman's Brewing Company

We have had nothing short of an amazing experience with Elevatus. Their team jumped right in and began planning with us right away, leaving no stone unturned from concept through our current state of approaching SD. Elevatus runs effective, informative and efficient meetings and always follows through with answers to questions that come up during the meeting.
