SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—Big-D Construction recently announced it has wrapped up its services as program manager consultant for the Utah State Prison Relocation project.
The joint venture with Kitchell CEM to build the Utah State Correctional Facility was one of the largest construction projects in the state’s history.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the prison to mark substantial completion. The facility has a capacity of 3,600 inmates and provides more operational space for prison workers.
The facility is comprised of 35 buildings and 1.35 million square feet of operational space and sits on 172 acres of land five miles from Salt Lake City. The total cost of the facility, including infrastructure, is approximately $1.05 billion.
Inmates will be moved in by the end of the summer.
“We are honored to be involved in this monumental project. Not only will the new Utah State Correctional Facility benefit the state, but it’s a massive upgrade for its inmates, correctional officers, staff and visitors,” said Big-D Construction’s John Kemp, who has led the joint venture since the project started six years ago.
