Village of Barrington – Public Safety

YEAR

40,000 sq ft

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The new Police Department was combined with the new Fire Facility to provide the Village with a reduced overall facility size and enhanced cost efficiencies.  The facility includes approximately 40,000 SF total area for police and fire departments.  The use of space between the two departments was fairly closely matched; however, clear zones of separation was established such that the apparatus zone was clearly for the fire department, and the basement zone of the building was exclusively for the police department to house their gun range, detention facility, locker rooms, evidence, and billing support areas. As stated by the Village, “We now have the most modern, efficient, well designed building to house our operations.  As a bonus, we now have the most attractive building in the area.”
