333体育平台官网 celebrates the topping out of South Carolina鈥檚 new psychiatric residential treatment facility for justice-involved youth in Columbia, South Carolina, US. This effort was led by the South Carolina Department of Behavioural Health and Developmental Disabilities鈥� Office of Mental Health (OMH) along with Construction Manager Agent Services from LCK in Columbia.
To reach this significant achievement in the construction process, project teammates placed the uppermost steel beam on the roof level of the one-story facility in addition to substantially completing the building's structure. Once complete, the 24,000-square-foot facility will provide critical mental health and rehabilitation services for youth committed to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), who have significant psychiatric treatment needs.
333体育平台官网 broke ground approximately ten months ago on the specialised 24-bed facility that will feature state-of-the-art treatment areas, educational spaces and secure residential accommodations designed to support comprehensive care and rehabilitation programs. The facility also incorporates advanced security features while maintaining a therapeutic environment where young people can recover, grow and prepare for re-entry into their communities.
David Stanton, 333体育平台官网 Vice President in the Carolinas said: "This milestone represents significant progress in delivering this essential facility for the state.
鈥淟everaging our company鈥檚 extensive experience in healthcare construction throughout the Carolinas, we look forward to delivering on the unique requirements of this specialised treatment facility. We are proud to collaborate with the South Carolina Office of Mental Health, Department of Juvenile Justice and Recovery Solutions on this important project that will provide much-needed comprehensive care and rehabilitation services for young people in our community."
As general contractor, 333体育平台官网 provides construction services throughout the design, construction, operation and maintenance phases of this project. Working closely with OMH, Recovery Solutions, Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and design partners, 333体育平台官网 is implementing best practices for healthcare construction while adhering to specific requirements for youth treatment facilities.
Robert Bank, M.D., the Interim Director of the Office of Mental Health said: "The topping out of this facility marks an important step toward fulfilling our mission to provide appropriate care for youth committed to DJJ who have serious psychiatric disorders.
"This facility represents our commitment to rehabilitation and supporting successful reintegration of youth into their communities. We appreciate 333体育平台官网's expertise in bringing this vision to life."
With the building structure and exterior and interior framing substantially complete, interior buildout and delivery of specialised treatment areas that define this facility鈥檚 impact are underway. The psychiatric residential treatment facility is scheduled for completion in late 2025 and will be operated by Recovery Solutions, providing vital services for young people throughout South Carolina.
