Inauguration of new house 2 in the Waldheim Corrections Center
On the grounds of the Waldheim Correction Center which have been used as a prison since the eighteenth century, a new detention center at the opposite end of the central recreation yard was dedicated on February 27, 2013. The vertically oriented, punctuated facade keeps the expansion of the building from being overwhelming while taking up the traditional design principle. A contemporary, customizable and functional design meets the requirements of a modern corrections system. The four-story building covers a floor space of 2,077 square meter, with 96 beds spread across 6 units and therapy rooms. The total cost was €6.8m.
