Project Description Belmont Correctional Institute (BeCI) is an adult minimum to medium-security prison facility operated by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC). BeCI was constructed in 1993 - 1994 and is comprised of approximately 15 buildings with a prison population of 2,673. The Transitional Program Unit (TPU) (Bldg 4) is 16,831 square feet. TPU was previously referred to as a 'segregation' unit. It is the intent of ODRC to demolish this building and replace it with a new stand-alone TPU building. The location of the new building may be in the same/current location or a new location within the confines of the secure perimeter. The development of a complete Program of Requirements (POR) will also be included as part of the Professional Design as an Additional Service. The development of the POR will include a comprehensive survey/field investigation of the building site, existing building and building systems.
