CCA provided landscape architecture design and construction documentation for this $450 million, 22-acre healthcare facility, including hardscape and softscape design. The designed courtyards incorporate site furnishings, gaming and exercise equipment, and carefully vetted plant materials selected for safety, durability, and therapeutic value. CCA also designed the entry landscapes and coordinated with the City on tree mitigation efforts.

The 415,500-square-foot, 250-bed replacement facility provides modern therapeutic environments for adult and adolescent patients, consolidating civil commitment, maximum-security, non-maximum-security, and dedicated youth units within a state-of-the-art campus. Designed to support evidence-based treatment, the facility features private patient rooms that balance privacy and security, shared activity spaces that foster social connection, and secure outdoor areas for gardening and recreation. Natural light, outdoor courtyards, and integrated clinical support spaces promote recovery and well-being. The project is currently under construction and scheduled to open in spring 2028.
