Project Description
As an important urban infill project in Southwest Florida and a catalyst for future development in the government center, the Police Headquarters design responds to the need to be a sustainable, survivable, yet open and inviting public building.
The project required an “Urban Approach” due to the large program and limited site area. The building mass fills the 69,184 square feet site and consists of 6 stories that house approximately 200,000 square feet of program, with the first 3 levels parking 200 vehicles.
Ultimately, through balancing sustainability and survivability issues, the project is intended to respect the tradition of the Sarasota School of Design Syntax and integrate seamlessly into the City’s existing downtown urban fabric.
