Stanislaus County Youth Detention Facility
Stanislaus County
Among California's most populous counties, Stanislaus stood alone in one significant gap: it had no commitment facility for minors. Lionakis provided master planning and design services to close that gap, delivering the County's first juvenile commitment facility and giving the justice system a tool it had long been without.
The 47,207-square-foot facility houses 60 beds across three units: a 30-bed unit and a 15-bed unit for boys, and a 15-bed unit for girls, each designed to support the rehabilitative programming that defines the facility's mission. Classrooms, a multi-purpose gymnasium, program rooms, a campus visitation area, and a secure recreational yard, along with a full-service kitchen and culinary instructional classroom add a vocational dimension, giving residents skills with practical value beyond the facility walls.
