The 24-bed Adel Beck secure home comprises education and residential units for boys and girls aged between 10 and 17 who have been remanded, sentenced or admitted as a result of behavioural issues.

The buildings, designed by architect Keppie Design, will be predominately single storey to conform with government guidelines. Security and surveillance measures will be a high priority.
