The paper reports the experience of Barlinnie prison in Glasgow in through-designing a new pedestrian entrance, visit area and staff facilities block with the design intention of maximising the benefit achievable through the use of modern technology and improved staff practices. In reporting the overall success of the project it describes the variable performance of some elements of the overall design in achieving anticipated capability. It summarises the learning that will be taken forward in planning the next stage of the £35 million refurbishment on which the prison is engaged
