A new police headquarters now serves the city of Alexandria, Virginia, among the oldest and most dense urban settings in the nation. The facility consolidates services from three buildings into one central location for 500 law enforcement personnel. As a modern civic landmark, designed in association with HDR, the headquarters contributes to the revitalization of an underutilized section of the city. The building design promotes functionality and security, with spaces arranged around a public atrium that provides natural daylight and serves as the main entrance.
