Big-D served as design-builder on this consolidated public safety facility, partnering with Galloway Co. to bring together the Highway Patrol, DPS Emergency Communications, and Driver License Divisions under one roof. The single-story, steel framed masonry building accommodates separate working areas for each agency along with shared space for fitness, breaks, and training. The project required close coordination across multiple stakeholders and careful attention to specialized systems. Detention areas for Highway Patrol demanded enhanced security features, while the building&#8217;s role as an emergency dispatch hub called for advanced communications infrastructure. Installation of the radio tower was particularly complex, requiring meticulous planning to meet specific RF (radio frequency) pathways and L3 Harris grounding standards. Big-D&#8217;s scope extended beyond the building itself to include all site development, including the Driver License test course.

The Fremont County Detention Center Expansion Project was a significant undertaking aimed at enhancing the existing Sheriff&#8217;s and Jail facilities and the first major upgrade for the jail since its original construction in 1981. The project encompassed the construction of a new single-story, 11,800-sq ft expansion which included a second-floor connector linking to the existing courthouse&#8217;s second floor. The structure was built using CMU block construction, structural steel beam, and cast in place concrete ceilings. The exterior was carefully planned to complement the existing buildings, incorporating materials like brick veneer, stone, CMU, and flat roofs. A backup generator was installed to ensure continuous power supply during outages, and the building was equipped with advanced security systems.
Designed to accommodate two 20-bed pods with multi-occupant cells and four solitary holding cells, the expansion included essential areas such as exercise yards, dayrooms, a control room, booking area, kitchen, and a vehicle sallyport. Additionally, shell space of approximately 1,900-sq ft was allocated for the County to provide new space for Dispatch.
