The Queens Site Project consists of Design-Build services for a fully functional, operational, and easily maintainable new detention facility to meet all programmatic requirements. The Queens Site will be located at 126-02 82nd Avenue and will include space for on-site services and programming, indoor and outdoor recreation, food services, staff offices and facilities, amenities and a secured entry (sally port).
The Queens Site must connect to the Queens County Criminal Court (QCCC) which was formerly connected through its District Attorney Wing. To successfully complete this Project, the Design-Builder must balance design, functionality, cost, constructability, and durability, providing the best value to the City and exemplifying the City’s principles of Project Excellence.
The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is awarding three separate Design-Build contracts – one for the new facility, one for the parking garage and community space project, and one for the dismantle and sally port project required to prepare the facility and facilitate NYC Department of Correction’s transfers for court appearances during construction.
The Queens Detention Site Project consists of demolishing the existing detention center and replacing it with a modern facility
The Queens Site will be located at 126-02 82nd Avenue, Kew Gardens, NY
As of Friday, June 25, 2021, construction is underway on the parking garage and community space alongside the new jail that will rise adjacent to Borough Hall and the Queens Criminal Courthouse.
Building the new facility is part of the borough-based jail system which aims to create a smaller, safer, and fairer system by incarcerating less people and building modern facilities
