Bay County Jail Annex and Courts Renovation

Location: Panama City, Florida
Client: Corrections Corporation of America
Architect: Evans Taylor Foster Childress Architects

Bay County Government attained a new courthouse annex and expanded jail facility in the fall of 2008. The one and two story 142,000 square foot jail annex will feature 688 beds, 152 holding cells, a new main entrance, video visitation area, medical rooms, booking and intake areas, food service space and various support services.

The 4,500 square foot courthouse expansion, which was located in downtown Panama City, includes a two story wing, new drive through sally port, intake holding cells, elevator and platform lift.

Moss provided several months of preconstruction planning services on this $36 million project to ensure that all budget, schedule and logistical requirements were addressed prior to commencing work in the field. The assignment represents one of 20 projects that Moss has built for Corrections Corporation of America throughout the United States.
