Project Overview
Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center (CTPHC), a maximum security facility, is referred to as Maryland’s forensic psychiatric hospital, housing one of the most violent populations of any state. Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (PSE) provided design and consulting services for renovations and a new housing unit addition to the hospital. Complete digital data center redesign and deployment of all equipment including servers, telecommunications, and monitoring systems were required. Also included were upgrades to the security electronics, control system, master control center, perimeter security, and communications infrastructure.
PSE was asked to continue extended construction services and include acting as commissioning review agent for the State of Maryland’s Department of General Services (DGS) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The phased implementation of security renovations offers the ability to conduct business as usual while upgrades are completed.
