DC Youth Services Center

Delon Hampton & Associates (DHA) provided civil engineering services for the secured juvenile rehabilitation facility. The design-build facility included the construction of five new buildings with a total of 90,000 gross SF of floor area and 150 parking spaces. The building also includes a freestanding gymnasium, a kitchen, dining areas, a 120-seat theater, student common areas, and academic and vocational training departments. The new center houses 60 students and features an interior pedestrian landscape courtyard with basketball courts, a tennis court, baseball diamond, and football field.
