ADG'S STUDY EXPERIENCE
<br />Lynchburg Police
<br />Department
<br />ADG, in association with a local
<br />architecture firm, completed
<br />a detailed spatial needs
<br />assessment for the Lynchburg
<br />Police Department and
<br />Courts Facilities. The 102,000-
<br />SF police headquarters will include a community-oriented
<br />gymnasium / multi-purpose space that will be accessible to the
<br />public as well as staff to foster community policing interactions.
<br />The planned building will consolidate the entire department back
<br />into one facility which will include administration, field operations,
<br />criminal investigations, special investigations, evidence and
<br />forensics, and information technology. The project will include
<br />training areas with classrooms, as well as physical agility training
<br />areas. A large community meeting room with support spaces will
<br />also be located immediately off of the main lobby, so it is readily
<br />accessible to the public.
<br />Lowell Police Department
<br />Architects Design Group,
<br />in association with a local
<br />architecture firm, was selected
<br />to design the Lowell Police
<br />Department Headquarters.
<br />The new facility is a three-story
<br />structure with the front of the
<br />building aligned parallel to Tanner Street. The public entrance to
<br />the building is directly off the public plaza adjacent to the public
<br />and visitor parking area. The 120,000-SF headquarters will feature
<br />crime analysis labs, two vehicle evidence bays, communications /
<br />dispatch, physical agility area, a training auditorium, classrooms,
<br />an emergency operations center, and over 20,000 SF for the
<br />various divisions’ offices. Additionally, the headquarters will serve
<br />as the hub for the department’s 240 sworn officers and 95 civilian
<br />employees.
<br />Springfield Police
<br />Department
<br />Architects Design Group,
<br />in association with a local
<br />architectural firm, was hired
<br />to perform a spatial needs
<br />assessment to determine
<br />the current and future needs
<br />of the steadily growing police department which currently has
<br />460 sworn and 120 non-sworn staff. The program includes the
<br />Springfield Police Headquarters (99,028 SF), 911 communications
<br />center (included in HQ), a firearms training facility (12,306 SF),
<br />and a fleet maintenance facility (6,651 SF). The site development
<br />approach accounts for secured indoor parking for 60+ spaces as
<br />well as separated secured staff parking from the open publicly-
<br />accessible parking areas, totaling over 400 spaces on site.
<br />Cobb County Police
<br />Department
<br />Architects Design Group,
<br />in association with a local
<br />architectural firm, was hired
<br />by Cobb County to develop
<br />the spatial needs assessment,
<br />site analysis, master plan, cost
<br />estimates, and bridging documents for the police headquarters
<br />and public safety training complex. The police headquarters will
<br />consist of approximately 150,000 SF to house PD operations.
<br />The current headquarters is a two-story building constructed in
<br />the 1960’s and is too small. Included is an administrative area,
<br />a detectives space, a community meeting room, physical agility,
<br />department meeting rooms, a crime lab, evidence processing
<br />and storage, holding, and break areas. The training complex will
<br />include 107,845 SF of specialized areas.
<br />Boynton Beach Police
<br />Department
<br />ADG designed the new
<br />57,000-SF, two-story police
<br />headquarters facility which
<br />will house the Chief and
<br />administrative offices suite,
<br />professional standards,
<br />detectives bureau, narcotics, special victims unit, uniformed
<br />services division, K-9 unit, crime scene investigative services,
<br />evidence, crime prevention, technical / IT services, training,
<br />facility support (lockers and physical agility), records, and public
<br />access areas which includes a shared lobby and large community
<br />room. Conceptually, the new headquarters forms a public safety
<br />neighborhood center with the existing Fire Rescue Station No. 5
<br />through the use of shared public site access and public parking, as
<br />well as a landscaped entry plaza and pedestrian link connecting
<br />the public lobbies of both buildings.

<br />Architects Design Group was
<br />selected by the City of Mobile
<br />to provide a spatial needs
<br />assessment and master

<br />new facility will house police
<br />administration and operations to support the department’s 474
