Highland Associates, working with Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, completed designs for a 750-bed County Prison
for Lackawanna County in Scranton, PA. Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates provided planning and schematic design.
Highland Associates provided Project Management, building exterior design, architectural construction documents and
all engineering for the new $32 million facility.
Construction is 100% complete. The original building, built in the 1890's, was designed to house 250 inmates in
approximately 128 cells. The approximate inmate population at the start of construction was 500. The new project
consisted of the construction of 4224 new cells in four towers. In addition, 176 inmates will be housed in the new
11,000 sf. minimum security area. Construction also included the addition of 14 medical cells and 16 classified
cells, as well as the demolition of the existing cell blocks.
The existing Administration Building has also been renovated.
