Supporting a Modern Justice System: Community Justice Campus Move Management
Located on the site of a former industrial plant, the new Community Justice Campus in Indianapolis represents a bold step toward a modern, holistic, and data-driven approach to justice. The campus brings together essential community partners to better serve the city through streamlined operations and improved accessibility.
BSA managed the complex transition from the city’s existing justice facilities to the new campus. Specifically, we began planning 18 months prior to occupancy. Tasked with coordinating a multidisciplinary team—including multiple interior design firms and relocation vendors—BSA led the move management and operational planning efforts to ensure a seamless transition.
At the project’s start, BSA conducted in-depth meetings with staff to evaluate current policies and procedures. We determined how best to adapt staff to the new facility. This also included reviewing emergency occupancy plans, process mapping, and accreditation checklists to ensure compliance and operational readiness.
Additionally, to support staff acclimation, BSA created interactive training exercises, including scavenger hunts. These interactive activities helped familiarize employees with their new environment. The team also managed internal and external communications through departmental newsletters and outreach to neighborhood stakeholders, keeping all parties informed throughout the process.
Key Contributions:
- Dual operational planning for inmate relocation
- Coordinated logistics across 20+ vendors, including specialized equipment for medical, dental, and facility use
- Managed donated furnishings for 81+ offices across three buildings
- Oversaw the relocation of 2,000+ items, 700+ employees, 3,500 crates, and historical artwork
- Provided on-site supervision for the delivery and installation of all new furniture and fixtures
In conclusion, through strategic planning, detailed coordination, and thoughtful engagement, BSA ensured the successful activation of the Community Justice Campus designed to serve Indianapolis for decades to come.
