Tacoma, Washington
Lydig Construction recently completed this 150,000 SF detention complex in Tacoma, Washington. This facility has been designed and constructed for INS/Homeland Security purposes. Located in a heavy industrial area near the Port of Tacoma, the detention facility contains a processing area, medical and dental facilities, courtrooms, interview and visitation areas and food prep and laundry facilities. When in full-operation, the complex will host 800 beds in four housing pods and a fifth area dedicated to Administration and Support Services. The Northwest Detention Center was constructed on an aggressive schedule, with a building construction duration of just over 10 months.
