Grayson County Jail Addition and Renovation

The county’s design directives for this 16,365 SF jail addition and renovation project were efficiency, security, and supervision. The challenging site required a small footprint leading to a stacked cell solution. The housing design includes 96 male inmate beds under indirect supervision in four-person housing and single cells on the floor and mezzanine levels. An elevated staff position and a roving staff member allow extensive staff observation. Separation cells, outdoor exercise, and program space are near the housing cluster to minimize inmate movement.
