All standards in this section, except where exceptions are stated, shall apply to new juvenile detention facilities and renovation of existing juvenile detention facilities for which construction is initiated after the effective date of these Standards. In the case of partial renovation of an existing facility, it is intended that these Standards should apply only to the part of the facility being renovated. The un-renovated portion of the facility would remain subject to the existing facility standards as specified in Chapter 17. The purpose in applying the Standards in this manner is to encourage local jurisdictions to proceed with making needed improvements to existing facilities where new construction or total renovation may not be practical in the short term.
