Challenge: For starters, Red Hook’s Town Hall needed an addition to handle overcrowding, and also, the new space would serve as an emergency command center in the event of a power outage during natural disasters. Every component of the new space had to align precisely with the existing building and it had to be both cost effective and energy efficient.

Modular Solution: To save time and money, Vanguard Modular constructed and painted three modules in the factory. Each aligned perfectly with the existing building, matching interior finishes, ceiling heights as well as the exterior. The result? A seamless appearance. Vanguard Modular used superior energy effective construction materials to help the building operate efficiently despite the notoriously challenging weather conditions in upstate New York.

“Schiavi’s design team was able to customize the building to meet both our immediate and long-range needs with a product that will last. Their staff was professional and responsive before and after
installation. It was nice to know they were only a phone call away.”

Challenge: “Phase 2” was an addition to “Phase 1”, a 30 bed modular
cellblock completed in 2001. Because of severe overcrowding, additional cells could not wait for the new, permanent jail to be completed.

Modular Solution: After exploring many options, cost and logistics led to a modular solution with 3410 sq. ft. of medium security cell space and 2898 sq. ft. of Administrative/Program space. This 60 bed facility was constructed with 30 cells, day space, interview space, bathrooms and officer’s observation and control station. It was connected to the Phase 1 building with a site-built connector. It joins a Schiavi supplied 42' x 69' office complex/program building with offices, bathrooms, kitchenette, reception and large open areas. When the new permanent facility is ready, Phases 1 and 2 will become a required Pre-Release Center.
