Despite being a highly secure emergency facility, our design maximizes light and views, avoiding a bunker-like atmosphere. Clerestory windows leverage daylight for stress mitigation while still prioritizing functionality in the screen-rich operations environment. The deep recesses around the windows diminish the scale of the space, making it feel safe and comfortable.

Built for Partnership

The 37,400-SF regional complex houses a consolidated 911 Dispatch/Public Safety Answering Point, Emergency Operations Center, County Emergency Management Agency offices, and associated dispatch partners.

Hardened for Resilience, Net-Zero Performance

The hardened facility is designed to withstand a direct hit by a tornado, resisting wind loads of up to 250 mph, and provides an ICC 500 Storm Shelter. Designed for net-zero energy, the ROC tracks solar and geothermal energy output and energy usage in real-time.

Healthy 麻花星空mvplace with All-Season Amenities

Flexible workspaces designed for collaboration, training, and staff education promote efficiency and readiness. The unique roof profile and clerestory windows ensure all work areas benefit from abundant, well-distributed natural light. An outdoor patio, walking trail, and rain garden with native plantings provide staff spaces to decompress from high-stress work. An interior courtyard provides a year-round space for building users to meet, enjoy lunch, or take a break.
