Skanska Integrated Solutions breaks ground on women’s correctional facility in Chesterfield Twp., NJ
HESTERFIELD TWP., NJ — Skanska assisted in the ground- breaking of a new correction facility for women, where its program management and consulting group, Skanska In- tegrated Solutions (SIS) is serving as the owner’s project manager. Located in Chester- field Township, the new wom - en’s facility will replace the existing Mahan Correctional Facility (EMCF) for Women. “This groundbreaking repre- sents a new chapter of criminal justice for New Jersey – one built on safety, dignity, and rehabilitation,” said Governor C
focused on safety, recovery, and redemption.” “This moment signifies a major step toward modern- izing and establishing best practices for the incarceration of women in New Jersey,” said New Jersey Department of Cor- rections Commissioner Victoria Kuhn, Esq. “By constructing a purpose-built facility, we are creating the normative condi- tions that are conducive to re- habilitation, successful reentry, and improved conditions for our staff, the women in our custody, and the broader public.” Skanska is providing own- er’s representative services
to assist in the design, plan- ning, and construction of the New Correctional Facility for Women. This work includes overseeing the schedule, pro- viding construction expertise and advice, and assisting in the logistical operations of project planning. The new $312 million facility will offer 420 beds on a 33-acre site and is being developed as a multi-building campus rooted in trauma-informed and normative design principles. The campus layout promotes a secure, yet open environment where women can move be- tween centralized services and programs, including education, vocational training, addiction treatment, medical care, rec- reation and social services. A key focus of the design is the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment, which plays a vital role in sup- porting the project’s overarch- ing goal: to create a normal- ized, therapeutic setting that fosters rehabilitation, dignity and growth. Skanska is also oversee- ing several major projects across New Jersey that re- flect the state’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and community development. These include the $47 million expansion of the 55,460 s/f New Jersey Public Health, Environmental and Agri- cultural Laboratory (PHE- AL), designed to strengthen the state’s public health infrastructure. At Rutgers University, Skanska is lead- ing the $60 million Cooper Street Gateway Planning Project in Camden, revital- izing historic properties and vacant lots into a vibrant academic and community hub. For the New Jersey Ju- venile Justice Commission, the firm is also managing the $139.5 million design and construction of two 54,000 s/f juvenile rehabilitation facili- ties in Ewing and Winslow Townships, each designed to provide safe, supportive and sustainable environments for youth development. Additionally, Skanska pro- vided owner’s representative services for the first phase of University Hospital’s $1.8 billion, nine-year campus redevelopment program in Newark, which includes a new 230,000 s/f administra- tive building and an 875-space parking structure.
