Henry County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center

New Castle, Indiana

  • Justice
  • Jails and Prisons

To expand Henry County’s outdated and overpopulated downtown jail, the Henry County Commissioners set out on a path to develop new housing and treatment options for those currently serving time. However, the downtown location quickly became a hindrance to its furthered growth. The opportunity to build a brand new jail facility became a more preferred choice. They were also able to implement a familiar and proven design based on a similar jail facility. Commissioners worked with the Indiana Department of Corrections to purchase a state-owned property and begin the design and construction process for the new Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center.

The facility will consist of all the functions required for jail operations, including Sheriff’s administration space, video visitation/arraignment stations, intake, sallyport, foodservice and laundry, medical, and housing. The Housing unit will contain 240 beds in total. The two-tier housing pod is subdivided into nine units to give officers maximum flexibility for classification. The facility overall provides the Sheriff with 12 classifications to optimize jail efforts. An elevated 2-story control provides excellent sightlines into the dayrooms of the entire pod.

The Sheriff’s administration space contains a detective area, workout room, evidence storage, a multipurpose room.

The facility also contains minimum security dorms for rehabilitation and treatment programs.

The new Jim Kelley Career Pathway Center officially opened with a ribbon cutting, just 14 months after planning for the skilled trades school began.

The center will offer Fort Wayne middle school students the opportunity to learn skilled trades, including automotive, manufacturing, construction trades, supply chain management and IT/CAD/CAM. The building has a variety of learning labs where 7th and 8th grade students can use cutting-edge equipment and technology for hands-on learning.

Elevatus was proud to be a part of such a transformative project.

We've broken ground at the future site of the Lawrence County Law Enforcement Center in Mount Vernon, Missouri! 

Elevatus was hired by the Lawrence County, Missouri county commission to design the new facility. Nabholz Corporation is construction manager at risk.

The 120-bed jail’s housing area will be made up of 8 dayrooms and an indoor-outdoor recreation area around a central control room, an innovative justice design. Efficiency and sight lines will be the focus in the intake area, and the sheriff’s office will be customized based on needs.

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.

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.
