GESTIÓN DE LA INFORMACIÓN EN EL MODELO

The Concept Design for the Maine Correctional Center (MCC) is the result of a series of intensive workshops with Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC) personnel.

Professionals from each department provided valuable information to permit the proposed facility to be sized and for its essential features to be identified. The sessions included discussions of the entire MDOC system, its needs today and in the 23 years into the future for which the facility is being planned.

The design for the Maine Department of Corrections provides a structure which is, first and foremost, a response to functional requirements for the facility. Operational and functional needs have determined the configuration and internal organization of the building areas. The Concept Design for MCC:

includes all service areas necessary for the new facility to serve as the reception and diagnostic facility for the Maine correctional system,

provides specialized housing and programmed areas to serve special populations not now easily accommodated within the current systems structures,

and provides a facility that will serve as the first step in the transition of inmates back into the community.

The project site has shaped the design form as has the program defining the housing units shown. Existing buildings will be retained for continued use where suitable. Housing units vary in program requirements; as a result, there are differences in the design of each. Because of the security requirements of the facility, and the desire for long term low-

maintenance, concrete and masonry is proposed for the building exterior. The public entry side of the facility is proposed to be finished with smooth face pigmented concrete block. The sides and rear of the building, including all of the housing units and support spaces, is proposed to be finished with a combination of smooth face pigmented concrete block and insulated precast panels. Where concrete block is utilized, more than one color will be used to create visual interest. At these locations, the exterior walls will be constructed as traditional masonry cavity walls, with concrete masonry unit back-up and rigid insulation within the drainable cavity. At the locations with insulated precast panels, the panels will be the exterior and interior finish. The concrete panels will be finished with color and texture for visual interest.

Day lighting will be provided where possible through exterior windows, and occasionally through skylights, to introduce natural light wherever possible. A detention facility, due to

its primary mission, is by nature a very enclosed structure and so daylight provision through creative means is necessary and important.

Foundations will be of concrete. Depending upon the placement of the new facility, soil conditions will require that the new facility be founded upon piles and pile caps, or upon spread footings. The site area immediately northeast of the existing buildings will require piles (Site Option C). The site area northwest and across Mallison Falls Road will permit spread footings (Site Options A & B). Refer to site concept options for further discussion of site conditions.

The proposed structure will be designed for economy and durability. Precast concrete components for cells, floors, and wall panels are proposed to permit fabrication of components to begin while site work is underway, and to permit efficient erection and building enclosure once the site and foundations are ready. Where practical and where scheduling is enhanced by bearing precast concrete, the precast concrete components will also serve as structure. Where steel is more efficient and economical, such as in roofs, it will be designed for rapid erection to stage the project for enclosure and temporary heat. Columns will either be jacketed fire resistive steel columns or precast concrete. Limited second floor areas of housing units where precast concrete does not serve well will incorporate cast-in-place concrete floor structures to limit floor height and provide fire resistive construction.

The size and occupancy of the facility will require fire resistive construction. Type IB construction is proposed to permit the facility to be constructed without fire walls, and to permit the future addition of housing units without fire walls. This approach also helps remove fire doors from corridors to maintain views by security personnel/ cameras of inmate activities.

Roofs will be nominally flat, constructed with steel joists and deck sloped for drainage. Where appropriate and where a cost or erection benefit recommends it, precast concrete plank will provide the roof structure. The roofing system will be rigid insulation and fully adhered EPDM or TPO roofing.

Because of the security requirements of the facility, and the desire for long term low- maintenance, masonry is proposed for the building interior partitions within inmate accessible areas. Staff areas will have gypsum systems partitions for economy and future flexibility. Interior finishes will generally be paint, with acrylic paints being used typically to permit easy reapplication by inmate workers. Epoxy paints will be provided where

toughness and cleanabilty are important such as in kitchen and shower areas. Flooring will be provided to suit each area, with rubber tile being preferred for noise reduction, ease of maintenance, and long term service under high use. Vinyl flooring will be provided in lower activity areas.

Door and window frames throughout the facility interior will be hollow metal, with detention hollow metal being provided as required for security. Exterior windows and doors will be heavy duty aluminum extrusions where security is not a requirement and detention hollow metal where it is. Where exterior windows are detention hollow metal, window frames will be of stainless steel with a powder coat finish for long term service. Interior doors will be either hollow metal or wood. Detention hollow metal doors will be provided at security perimeters and segregation cells with 6” or 12” jamb locks. Other doors may be structural core wood doors where detention doors are required or 5-ply solid core wood doors where detention doors are not required. All non-detention door locks will be vandal resistant grade mortise locks with matched keying to mogul cylinders as permitted by MDOC policy.

Staff and public areas will be finished with a durable commercial level of finishes to help provide spaces which are normative and comfortable for visitors and personnel. Finishes within these areas will include wood doors and trim, ceramic tile, and commercial acoustic ceilings.
