Fairfax County’s Fox Mill School Expands

July
New Public Safety Project for Loudoun County
Equipping youth with a secure environment and a place of healing, the new Loudoun County Juvenile Detention Center (LCJDC) provides pre and post-dispositional detention. Shockey built a youth shelter unit, multiple housing units, and a public resource center with classrooms, gathering areas, and medical offices within a LEED®-certified facility.
For contractors who have exemplary safety records, there are six levels of achievement recognized by the national Associated Builders and Contractors organization. STEP Diamond, granted to Shockey, is the highest possible level of attainment. Diamond level organizations are more than 600% safer than the industry average.
