The Fort Wayne architects of Elevatus, formerly SchenkelShultz Architecture Fort Wayne, were engaged by the North Carolina Department of Correction to design a new Regional Medical Center for its Central Prison. This 5-story building is part of the maximum security complex and serves as a comprehensive general and specialty outpatient clinic for inmates in the North Carolina Central Prison System. Included on the same site is a Mental Health Facility with corridors connecting to the clinic.
The clinic itself functions as a compete hospital, offering Emergency Room and outpatient services, 120 medical cells with 130 beds, three operating rooms, a dialysis unit, radiology services, dental services, a pharmacy and lab, a specialty clinic used for exam testing, and hospital administration and support functions.
