Centro Medico Correccional, Puerto Rico

To provide more regular access to medical care, a new 137,000 sf clinic was built within one of the main correctional complexes in Puerto Rico. The facility includes Urgent Care, Outpatient Services, Inmate Holding Areas, 2 In-patient wings, a Correctional Psychiatric Unit and Administration. All these housed within a highly secure environment while providing as much light and air as possible by including spaces like the recreational facility on the roof.

Ximena was part of the Urbahn Architects design team as an architectural designer responsible for drawings and specifications, space and furniture planning, contract documents, coordination with construction approval agencies, and interpretation of technical regulations, codes, and standards.
