The design team conducted a conceptual design workshop with the police department in order to determine the appropriate adjacency and stacking relationships between the functional departments.  This exercise resulted in three options which were developed for a preliminary review by the police department which culminated in a selected option.

As part of the police facility design, it was extremely important to understand neighborhood and site context around the building. It was also important to study existing architecture in the town, as well as identifying any design precedents that might apply to the police facility design. With this in mind, we conducted a series of work sessions with a goal of working collaboratively with municipal and community stakeholders to develop a design direction for the new police station that would acknowledge context while enhancing civic pride.
