Bexar County Jail Expansion

Bexar County’s former jail located on the banks of the San Pedro Creek in downtown San Antonio was demolished to redevelop the area. Because the facility was closing, over 500 inmates had be transferred to Bexar County Jail’s main complex. This created the necessity for more beds and space.

To house displaced lower custody county inmates, Butler-Cohen worked with Munoz and Bexar County to design and construct a new 105,000-sf tower. This new construction contains large dormitories with ample program space designed to prepare inmates for re-entry into society and to reduce recidivism. The facility also includes a 28,000 sf processing center on the ground floor. The project was completed within estimated cost and schedule.
