Case Study: Police Department Headquarters Building Renovation

Project Objective:The Police Department is responsible for the public safety of over 300,000 men, women and children.
The Police Dept. Headquarters is an estimated 40 year old multi-story former Class A office building.

The City’s Public Works and Police Departments, however, have determined that only a major renovation will allow the efficient and responsive service delivery of 21st century public safety resources and to serve the City’s citizens and its visitors.
