Midlands Evaluation Center (MEC)
GMK Associates was retained under an emergency procurement by SCDJJ to assist with architectural and engineering designs for various security upgrades and building repairs to the MEC located on Shivers Drive.
SCDJJ evaluation centers provide court-ordered evaluations for adjudicated youth (those found guilty) prior to final disposition of their cases. The evaluation centers provide comprehensive psychological, social, and educational assessments to guide the court's disposition of cases. The unit was in need of security and aesthetic upgrades to further the Center's mission. GMK was brought on by Tyler Construction to develop conceptual drawings and as-built drawings that memorialize the scope of the emergency repairs as they are being completed on an accelerated "pod by pod" basis. These photos are from the recently completed Pod C at the center.
