The Franklin County Corrections Center was named 2024 Best Government/Public Building project by Engineering News-Record Midwest. A panel of judges awarded 33 projects in 16 categories across the region in this year’s ENR Midwest Best Projects Contest.

Considered a “Center for Innovation” by the National institute of Corrections, the 1 million gsf Franklin County Corrections Center has redefined how to address inmate needs. DLZ developed a design that is considered the premier facility in the United States to address mental health, medical, behavioral management, and addiction issues.

Congratulations to the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, Gilbane Construction Company, and the project team for this prestigious recognition.
