KMB led planning and design of a phased 404 bed secure facility designed specifically for treatment of sexually violent predators civilly committed, for an indefinite term, by court order. The new facility, sited on McNeil Island, is operated by Washington State Department of Social & Health Services on a secure site controlled by the Department of Corrections. A multi-phased construction strategy accelerated initial occupancy of 308 beds utilizing the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) delivery method.

The facility provides a therapeutic environment to support multi-phased cognitive behavioral treatment programs that are designed to provide individualized self-management tools to mitigate the risk of returning these most dangerous chronic sex offenders to the community. Project planning included special accommodations for a wide range of "special needs" residents, as well as housing facilities that recognize treatment progress and behavior management needs ranging in security level from low-medium to maximum, and including females. Facility design incorporated both new construciton and remodeling/renovation of existing facilities.
