Expanding Capacity in Saskatchewan
The Saskatoon Correctional Centre expansion represents a major investment in Saskatchewan’s correctional infrastructure.
Â
Completed within its original $135 million budget, the project adds 312 beds for adult men in custody. It also includes a new medical unit, additional rehabilitation and programming areas, upgraded video court suites, and a kitchen designed to serve the entire correctional centre.
Â
The expansion gives the province greater flexibility to manage population pressures while improving the spaces available for healthcare, education, and treatment.
Supporting Healthcare and Rehabilitation
The new medical unit allows more healthcare services to be provided within the secure facility. This can help reduce the operational and security demands associated with transporting individuals to outside providers.
Â
Dedicated programming areas also provide space for individual and group services focused on treatment, education, and preparation for community reintegration.
Â
These improvements reflect the broader role modern correctional facilities play in supporting both secure operations and rehabilitation.
Plumbing Built for Correctional Environments
Correctional plumbing fixtures must perform reliably under continuous use and demanding conditions. Toilets, lavatories, combination units, showers, and water controls must resist abuse, simplify maintenance, and support safe facility operations.
Â
Willoughby manufactures stainless steel plumbing fixtures and water management solutions for secure environments. Made-to-order configurations help architects, engineers, and facility teams address project-specific installation, durability, security, and maintenance requirements. Available solutions include:
Â
- Stainless steel toilets, lavatories, and combination units
- Showers and accessories for secure housing areas
- Ligature-resistant configurations for higher-risk applications
- Electronic water management controls
- Custom fixture configurations
Designed for Long-Term Performance
The Saskatoon Correctional Centre expansion demonstrates how modern correctional design can address capacity needs while improving access to healthcare and rehabilitation services.
Â
It also reinforces the importance of durable building systems that can support safe operations, reduce maintenance demands, and perform reliably throughout the life of the facility.
