The Lake County Detention Facility is a multi-story building that was originally constructed in 1986 in Painesville. The building structure consists of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete frame. The exterior walls are composed of jumbo clay brick masonry with a concrete masonry backup designed as a drainage wall system. The windows consist of recessed punched windows with sloped brick sills as well as curtain walls. 

WGI performed a condition survey at the building to review the components within the exterior brick masonry walls, punched windows, and curtain walls to make recommendations for their repair and maintenance and present the associated opinion of probable repair costs. WGI reviewed the existing conditions and recommended performing repairs to correct deficiencies and waterproofing the systems.
