The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is a national leader in providing evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy for men and women with substance abuse and/or mental health issues. To help support this mission, STV provided comprehensive architectural design, engineering and construction administration services for a new, 92,000-square-foot Franklin Jail and House of Corrections in Greenfield, MA.
Using natural light via large windows to reduce tension and humanize an otherwise institutional facility, the two-story freestanding building houses 300 inmates. Delivered under a design-build contract, as part of the design program, STV’s team prioritized the protection of wetlands during construction.
