Abstract

The campus of the North Dakota Youth Correctional Center (NDYCC) lies nestled between the Heart River to the east and the scenic buttes to the south. Just outside the city center of Mandan, North Dakota. Due to a disconnected campus, NDYCC is presently struggling to implement a new treatment entitled, Educating for Quality by Understanding Interpersonal Potential (EQUIP), which is a treatment approach focusing on cognitive restructuring, anger management, social skills, and social decision-making. My project will address this problem through the re-design of the campus masterplan and the design of a new cottage prototype. To further enable NDYCC’s treatment theory to reach the next level of effectiveness, the theoretical premises of my thesis project will also focus on the interpersonal potential of the facility’s occupants, the troubled adolescents of North Dakota, through the clear organization and integration of residence, education, and incentive programs.
