RANDOLPH COUNTY JAIL Wedowee, AL REFORMING TRADITIONAL MODULES FOR AN OPEN CELL SOLUTION WHEN THE PERFECT PRECAST SOLUTIONS DON’T EXIST, WE CREATE THEM Sometimes, traditional methods simply don’t cut it. When Randolph County Commission decided to build a new correctional facility in Wedowee, Alabama, and needed to maximize bed space for their project, Tindall didn’t rely on existing solutions. By working closely with the architect, JMR+H Architecture, PC, our team developed a new, open-air, dormitory-style module that served as the building’s structure while capitalizing on every inch of the available 24,000 square feet of floor space. This innovative open dorm solution, in conjunction with Tindall’s two-person lockdown cells, helped accelerate the construction schedule by weeks while providing the reliability and consistency of a plant-manufactured product.
