Frankfort Public Safety Facility
Frankfort, Kentucky
ADG was selected by the City of Frankfort to provide programming and design services for a multi-faceted Public Safety Complex, consisting of E-911 Dispatch and an Emergency Operations Center, Police, and Fire Administration. At the completion of the initial phase, ADG reviewed seven potential sites and, with the consent of the City Council, adopted the downtown site for continued re-use.
The Public Safety Complex, consisting of 42,000 square feet, co-sites the noted Departments all of which had previously been located in separate buildings, as well as all being inadequate for their function. The concept of a singular Public Safety Facility has resulted in significant project savings, with the joint utilization of common elements such as emergency power, mechanical / electrical systems, as well as traditional public areas consisting of a lobby, restrooms, and community meeting rooms.
