Overview
New 26,000 sq. ft. Police Station near downtown San Antonio. The facility houses Patrol, San Antonio Fear Free Environment (SAFFE), Property Crimes, and Crisis Response Team (CRT) Units to provide additional police presence and support to the citizens of San Antonio. Additionally, a community room and exterior amenities are available to neighborhood groups and to host police department outreach events.
The Police Station is designed to be inviting and compatible with the character and context of the surrounding commercial developments and residential neighborhood. The articulated building exterior walls are capped with a hipped standing seam roof with generous overhangs. The walls consist of reinforced site cast concrete panels accented with regionally sourced 12-inch coursed limestone masonry veneer. Punched window openings are strategically placed at the first floor and second floors. The main entrance, at the Southwest corner, consists of a two-story aluminum and glass curtain wall system with exposed architectural structural steel columns and diagonal steel members to support the roof extension over the main building entrance.
Exterior improvements include a small public park space with areas provided to display selected public art. The green public park space is defined by the West side of the building, stepped amphitheater-style bench wall, and vegetated retaining walls and sloping walkway.
Our firm also provided assistance with selections for the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) package.
