Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center

Rochester, Indiana

  • Justice
  • Jails and Prisons

Understanding the need for a new jail facility is no small undertaking. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and Fulton County Commissioners recognized that the facility built in 1985 was quickly deteriorating. It was not meeting the necessary codes to meet current ACA and Indiana jail standards, nor was it properly housing all of Fulton County’s inmates. 

Through the formation of a Jail committee by Fulton County officials, the Elevatus team was engaged to help design a solution for the lack of space. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Department toured many facilities in Indiana and kept coming back to one of our recently completed projects, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center. During the County Commissioner’s (the county authority responsible for providing a county jail) visit, if we could design a similar facility to meet the needs of Fulton County, this building would meet and exceed all their requirements and desires. Working with a few design modification meetings, the 49,910 SF facility has a 230-bed count. The facility contains a 230-bed count with 198 beds in its housing pod, 12 beds for inmate workers, and intake & holding containing 20 beds.

It continues to host several needs like:

  • Full-Service Kitchen and Laundry
  • CSI Lab
  • Detectives Offices
  • Squad Room
  • 911 Dispatch
  • Multi-purpose Room

In addition to all spaces typically hosted inside jail facilities, the county elected to add a forensic center and morgue connected to the new jail. This 2,000 SF space incorporates a garage/dock, conference space, cooler, and procedure room. It also includes a private entrance for the next of kin to identify or release the deceased.

Rock blasting at the Lawrence County Public Safety & Services Center project in Deadwood, South Dakota! 

The sanitary sewer line entered the new building from the north, which was located at the very right of the screen. During excavation, rock was encountered underground. At the same time, more rock was discovered where other underground utilities were to enter the building from the west. The best option for the construction to continue in an efficient manner was to blast the rock out of the ground. The contractor laid out a plan for blasting that would take care of both problems.

We're glad to be working with Construction Manager RCS Construction on this new facility!

They are able to convert learning modalities and educational pedagogies into physical, durable locations within our buildings that serve faculties and students in an excellent fashion.”

Arthur E. Snyder, Ed.D.

Past President, Indiana Tech

"The level of service that Fort Wayne Community Schools received during the construction of New Tech Academy was superb. The architects were innovative and took the time to truly understand the different learning modalities that we wanted. They always gave close attention to details, schedule, and construction costs."

Liz Bryan

Director, New Tech Academy Wayne High School

"Sanilac County has continuously relied on Elevatus for their expertise and dedication to quality of service, and I have actively worked with them in the planning stages of our renovation and jail expansion project. I give my full recommendation for Elevatus for design and construction on building projects."

Garry M. Biniecki

Sheriff, Sanilac County

"I want to express my appreciation to the customer-oriented Elevatus for a job well done on our penitentiary at Terre Haute. Their incorporation of many complex design modifications to the Central Utility Plant without falling a single day behind schedule was particularly impressive. I look forward to the possibility of working on future projects with them."

Clifton L. Spence, III

Senior Project Manager, Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons, Washington, DC

"We chose Elevatus for our team on The Northeast Indiana Regional Public Safety Academy because of their extensive national experience in public safety, green, and educational facility design. Their role was critical in creating a building that was highly functional, energy-efficient, and striking in appearance. Elevatus receives my highest recommendation.”

Graham Richard

Mayor, 2000-2007, Fort Wayne, Indiana

"My experience with Elevatus has been excellent. I actively worked with them during the planning stages of rehabilitating an existing structure into a work release center, constructing a new jail facility, and expanding our existing Justice Building. They were always willing to listen to concerns and were sensitive to the county’s conservative spending sensitivity to the county’s conservative fiscal spending."

Ronald J. Robinson

County Commissioner, Kosciusko County, Warsaw, Indiana
