Design/Build of U.S. Penitentiary at
McCreary County, Kentucky

Caddell completed the massive $124 million,
533,000-SF, high-tech/high-security complex
ahead-of-schedule and with high praise from 
the Owner and all project participants--despite 
a remote location, a challenging 423-acre site, 
twenty-one separate buildings to be constructed concurrently, and the installation of some of the 
most sophisticated security and communications technology in the industry.  Caddell delivered superior performance across the board. Safety statistics 
were outstanding; the project received no Deficiencies 
and Omissions citations; labor relations were 
exceptional; and the partnering program molded 
Caddell, engineers/architects, subcontractors, 
crafts personnel, and the local community into 
an award winning team.

Caddell's performance at McCreary was recognized
with numerous awards including:

n  AGC 2003 Marvin M. Black Excellence in Partnering Award
n  ABC 2002 National Eagle Excellence in Construction Award
n  AGC 2003 Build Alabama Award
n  ABC 2002 Excellence in Construction Award / Alabama

Matthew J. Perry, Jr. U.S. Courthouse 
Columbia, South Carolina 

 

The Matthew J. Perry, Jr. U.S. Courthouse is the only federal courthouse named for a living individual, and was the first to incorporate force protection into its design.   The completed facility represents the state-of-the-art in security and communications technology.

The courthouse exterior consists of brick veneer with a concrete backup wall, limestone trim, curtain wall, and punched ballistic windows.  The three main levels have lobby floors of granite and slate, wood wainscots, and pilasters. There are eight courtrooms on the second and third levels which feature top-quality custom carpeting and millwork. The U.S. Marshal Service manages a main cellblock, and various court floor holding and prisoner movement corridors.  The lower level provides two separate parking areas and storage.  The building has two public elevators, three prisoner elevators, two judges elevators, one service elevator, one clerks elevator, four exit stairs, and one monumental stair.

The Columbia Courthouse has achieved a beautiful synthesis of form and function, and blends perfectly with one of the most attractive historic districts in the Southeast.    A tour of the new courthouse provides an impressive demonstration of the best in quality millwork, stonework, lighting design, metalwork, fine wall and floor coverings, architectural detailing, and artwork.  The new facility meets all of the needs of a modern justice complex, while enhancing an historic neighborhood that includes the 1855 Governor’s Mansion, numerous ante-bellum homes, extensive formal gardens, fountains, and historic churches.

which the American taxpayers,

proud of for many years to come."
