This facility received the LE Facilities II Silver award in the 2022 Officer Station Design Awards.
This facility is located on the City’s Public Safety Campus, with a Fire Headquarters close by. The project involved a feasibility study and rigorous site selection process. Beyond satisfying essential departmental needs, the building includes several notable features and attributes such as equitable facilities for female and male staff, a booking and detention area that meets evolving policing standards, both private and shared work areas to allow for greater flexibility, and a large public meeting space. The building is also designed to be flood-proof, fossil-fuel free, and Net-Zero ready.
Using a detailed matrix of factors including cost, available land, after evaluation of numerous sites determined that the best location for the replacement station was on the current campus, necessitating site-specific design that could accommodate several constraints, such as preparing the building to accommodate potential future flooding and incorporating resilient design features.
