EWYORK, NY —The New York City archi- tectural and planning firm of Urbahn Architects has completed Centro Médico Correccional (CMC) in Bay- amón, Puerto Rico. The project has received the prestigious Distinction Team Award from the 2015 Healthcare Facilities Symposium&Expo 2015. The Distinction Awards competi- tion honors design teams and individuals who have made a profound contribu- tion to the healthcare design industry. Urbahn served the Puerto Rico Corrections and Rehabilitations Department N
as lead design architect in collaboration with Puerto Rico’s DS+C Architects + Engineers . “While the 139,000 s/f medi- cal center sits in Bayamón’s Regional Prison, the 200-bed structure serves the inmates of all of the island’s 44 correc- tional facilities. With a price tag of $68 million, it came in a full 15% under budget,” said Donald Henry, Jr., AIA , LEED AP , Urbahn’s principal. The team performed a care- ful programming, master planning, space planning, and design analysis to strike the

optimal balance between the correctional and healthcare functions within the facility. “We had to abide by federal mandates regarding outdoor views and recreational space, all without compromising se- curity. We also strived to pro- vide a humane environment and appropriate medical care to a chronically underserved population, while creating strong and uplifting archi- tecture,” added Henry. In- deed, the building has become something of a landmark that is visible from the highly traveled PR-22 Expreso José De Diego. “It is a bright and colorful structure that evokes an aura of wellness rather than a forbidding hallmark of incarceration,” he said. According to Martin Davi- la, AIA , DS+C principal, “The Bayamón CMC had to address varying populations with dis- parate physical, health, and security needs. By working closely with the client, Ur- bahn, the program manager, and the consultants, we cre- ated a facility that is essential to the health and well-being of both pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates.” Urbahn and DS+C teamed with the program manager Rosser International ; gen- eral contractor Q.B. Con- struction ; correctional op- erations consultant Curnyn Consulting ; healthcare con- sultant P4H ; mechanical en- gineer Babilonia Engineer- ing Group ; security elec- tronics engineer Cameron Engineering & Associates ; structural engineer José Espinal Vazquez Y Aso- ciados ; civil engineer EBP Design Group Consulting Engineers ; and electrical engineer Andrés Sánchez Carrión . n
