This study analyzes the impact of and proposes a location for a new 50-bed dormitory (phase III) and related parking for the Massachusetts correctional institution in Plymouth. The report includes the preferred building design.
Abstract
The dormitory program calls for 50 inmate rooms (2 for handicapped) and related support functions, including one holding cell, toilets, a recreation room, a library, a visiting room, and a laundry, requiring total space of 11,965 square feet. The proposed dormitory building has been located on its own lot across the access road from the phase II building. The building will have a central function area and two dormitory wings. The finned tube radiation system is recommended for heating. The building project is estimated to cost $1,177,216. Once the project is funded and the designer selected, 74 weeks should be allowed for design, bidding, and construction. This proposed design was developed before any final design undertaking and before a legislative decision to appropriate funds for implementation. The appendixes contian a water supply study, a partial site survey, a boiler study, cost estimates, and code references. 18 tables and drawings.
