CMW began design on the Carroll County Regional Detention Center and Courts Building in 1990.   Phase I of the project encompassed the detention center and half of the site's grading and utilities.   Phase II included the Courts Building and final site development and landscaping.   The county, through the Kentucky Local Correctional Facilities Construction Authority and the Administrative Office of the Courts, procured partial funding for these phases.

The Carroll County Regional Detention Center is a 15,500 square foot, 84-bed facility.   The detention center houses all classifications of adult males and females in single level dorms and cellblocks.   The facility also includes programming space, support space, an outdoor recreation area, kitchen and laundry facilities as well as an administrative area.   The building is masonry with exterior cavity type walls of split and ground face concrete block with concrete block back-up, a precast concrete roof deck and a concrete slab on grade floor.   Security walls are reinforced and grouted solid.   The facility includes extensive electronic control and security systems.

The Carroll County Courts Building includes circuit and district courts and their accompanying offices and services along with the circuit court clerk's area.   It is connected to the detention center and is a 14,100 square foot, one story masonry and steel building with exterior cavity type walls of split face and ground face concrete block with concrete block back-up, an interior steel frame with a steel joist and metal deck roof and a concrete slab on grade floor.   Interior finishes include gypsum board, suspended acoustical ceilings and carpet and tile floors.   

Construction on Phase I, the detention center, began in October of 1991.   Construction of Phase II of the project, the adjoining court annex, began in March of 1992 while construction continued on Phase I.   The entire project was completed in January 1993, well within the construction schedule originally set up at the beginning of preliminary design.
