About McRae Correctional Facility: 

BELLacted as the Construction Manager at Risk on this project. Extensive value engineering was performed to realize a total project savings in excess of $1.1 million. Value engineering opportunities incorporated into the project included utilizing a pre-engineered metal building system in lieu of the Owner’s preliminary design of a structured fabric system, utilizing precast concrete cells versus a metal panelized system saved both cost and time on the fast track project.

The project was completed within the perimeter security fence of the existing facility requiring constant communications between ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½, CCA, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the facility’s Warden. To minimize disruption to ongoing operation of the existing facility, ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s team coordinated with the Owner’s staff to perform demolition in unoccupied areas at night.

The scope of work for the project included a new 32,400 SF, 400-bed dormitory, a 26,000 SF expansion of the existing segregation unit, commissary, chapel, support services, intake, kitchen and dining, and visitation.
