The facility provides all the programs required to adequately support the staff and youth, which includes a fully functional school - the Eager Street Academy, a 35,000-square-foot education facility, serving high school aged offenders. The new design includes family and attorney visitation areas, security screening, central control, intake and release, physical and behavioral health areas, offices, and dining. The center features five housing units designed for 12-14 juveniles in single rooms within a direct supervision setting that are organized around a central staircase that quickly and conveniently connects the different areas.
