68 <br />Police Headquarters <br />Due to population increases and annexations to the City of Plantation, its police force <br />doubled in size since the original 34,000 SF police station was built in the early 1980s. <br />Our firm tackled the space issues and advanced technology changes the department was <br />facing. We explored programming needs with the police force and city fathers and created <br />a phased master plan to facilitate the work while still enabling existing operations 24/7. The <br />solution involved the construction of a second 34,000 SF structure to be completed on an <br />eight-phased timetable. Included in the new building was a sally port, holding cell facility, <br />fitness center with locker room, roll call room, interview rooms, report writing rooms, and <br />offices for Patrol, Street Crime, Traffic, and Administrative personnel. A community room <br />and open, inviting lobby reflected a new engagement policy with the public. <br />Client City of Plantation <br />Services Programming <br />Phasing Plan <br />Architectural Design <br />Interior Design <br />Contract Administration <br />Status Completed in 2006 <br />Success With the advent of “community” <br />policing, the entry to the new <br />Police Headquarters was designed <br />as a welcoming reception area to <br />better reflect the department’s <br />mission statement and <br />commitment to the community. <br />Govern
