Union County Juvenile Detention Center
Linden, NJ, United States
The mayor of Linden, NJ welcomed this new 80-bed juvenile detention center into his city, but cautioned us at the city council hearing: "I don't want to see any fence around this building". We embraced the mayor's injunction by designing a "thin" building - only one room deep - that wraps around a one-acre outdoor courtyard. By arranging all spaces along a common, glass-walled corridor, we also achieved our principal design goal of maximizing daylight in the interior.
In designing this building it was important to create a "normative environment" that promotes positive behavior among the juveniles detained there and helps them make a successful transition back into the community.
