U.S. Penitentiary Coleman I is a design-build project that involved construction of a 544,000 square-foot maximum security facility.
Located on approximately 90 acres adjacent to the existing Coleman Federal Detention Facility, U.S. Penitentiary Coleman I houses over 1,000 inmates. Included in the project was the construction of six 60-foot guard towers, a food service building, a light manufacturing building, a medical unit, educational and recreational buildings, and a loading dock, as well as the the installation of state-of-the-art security systems. The prison features a concrete façade with punch windows.
Clark also constructed Coleman II, which was completed in 2004.
