Manchester Public Safety Complex
Manchester, New Hampshire
ADG's role in the project was to develop the detailed Spatial Needs Assessment, update the existing master plan for the entire complex to reflect the specialized needs of the Police Department, and to develop the interior operational adjacencies for the planned three-story, 75,000 SF facility. ADG's team was led by Ian Reeves, AIA, who has been the lead Law Enforcement design specialist for the past 15 years for the firm. ADG worked directly with the Manchester PD staff on site over a period of three months to develop detailed design documents of all interior layouts, specialized equipment coordination, security systems design and specification, and development of the critical infrastructure redundancies to support the facility. Inclusive in the design documents is an 8-lane indoor Firing Range as a major component of the Training Unit, and a state-of-the-art Evidence Holding and Processing Lab. ADG's expertise in Law Enforcement planning and design has ensured that the new facility is designed to stand up to the most rigorous inspections in the pursuit of CALEA Accreditation.

Lake County, FL EOC and 9-1-1 Facility
Lake County, Florida
The County’s current EOC is located on the second floor of the County Administration Building and has been identified by the State of Florida as being inadequate. It was never designed as a permanent EOC facility due to its size, need of equipment for wireless communication, and it was not designed to accommodate emergency personnel for an extended time. ADG was recently selected for programming, master planning, design and construction administration for a new 32,000 SF Emergency Operations Center/Communication Center to be located adjacent to the Lake County Judicial Center in Tavares, Florida. The scope of services are to be performed in two phases: Phase One— Needs Assessment, Programming, Conceptual Design, and Preliminary Budget Cost and Phase Two—Design and Construction. ADG has completed the spatial needs analysis for the project and has begun schematic design.

Monroe County Emergency Operations Center
Monroe County, Florida
This Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is to be located on the island of Marathon in Monroe County, a central location in the Keys.
This is a stand-alone facility funded by the State of Florida and the Federal Government and is being designed for "near absolute" storm events; in essence, for the 10,000 year storm. This is a unique condition that impacts upon several elements of the complex; the elevation of the facility, i.e., above the storm surge level, for impact forces that exceed a Category 5 storm, and for every aspect of the exterior of the structure.
The building is scheduled to be constructed in 2010. It contains totally self-sufficient systems to ensure survivability, including all basic systems designed for redundancy, such as: sewer, water, power and communications to provide for a minimum of 72 hours of continued operation at capability, utilizing self-sufficient systems contained within the structure.

Atlantic Beach Police Department
Atlantic Beach, Florida
The two-story, 14,000 sq ft Atlantic Beach police station will be built on the City’s Municipal Campus adjacent to City Hall. The campus also consists of a public park, commission chambers and the existing public safety building. that all border a prominent creek that bi-sects the campus. The design Team’s objective was to maximize the connectivity between city buildings while minimizing any impact on the park. This was achieved by placing the new building to the north of City Hall running parallel to the creek currently used for public parking. The new building will create a more cohesive group of civic buildings by implementing covered walkways and bridges over the creek while also providing views of both the park and creek in a two story structure.

Washington Police Department
Washington, North Carolina
The City of Washington North Carolina, located at the head of the Pamlico River in the Carolina “inner banks” is currently providing law enforcement services from an obsolete building that is beyond its useful life and susceptible to flooding. Architects Design Group is proving the City with complete planning and design services for a new facility. The project is expected to be funded through the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development FmHA Financing program. ADG’s initial planning activities prepared a Space Needs justification and Site Feasibility analysis to help secure funding. Constraints and opportunities guiding the planning activities include selecting an appropriate site located outside the 500 year flood zone that affects the majority of the City limits; and developing a concept for the facility reflecting the Department’s commitment to “community oriented policing”. ADG has created a concept for the project that provides a 20,000 square foot single-story building, arranging the site plan to include a civic plaza, multi-layered approach to security, a community meeting room and full-service operations and administrative spaces.
