Johnston Iowa Public Safety Facility
Johnson, Iowa
Architects Design Group, in association with a local architecture firm, was selected to provide programming, conceptual design, and voter referendum assistance. The project included the analysis of the community to determine the appropriate locations for consideration to site the Public Safety Complex. There has been a great deal of growth on the West side of the community yet the Police and Fire facilities are both located on the East. Fire Rescue, in particular, needs an expanded presence on the west side as the City currently relies upon the mutual aid agreement is has with its neighboring community, the City of Grimes.
The analysis concluded, and was adopted by the Mayor and City Council, to locate the Public Safety Complex on the East side of town and to locate a new, stand-alone, 3-bay Fire Station on the west side to provide equal Fire Rescue coverage throughout the City. The Public Safety Complex is going to be constructed on existing City-owned property thus eliminating the added expense of additional land acquisition.

Cheyenne, WY Police Department
Cheyenne, WY
ADG provided the City of Cheyenne and Laramie County with a detailed space needs study that examined four elements—the Cheyenne Police Department, the Laramie County Office of Emergency Management, the Cheyenne Fire Administration and the Cheyenne/Laramie County Combined 9-1-1 Communications office. Our team is examining several potential sites and evaluating each one to develop options for the future facility. Preliminary estimates suggest a new combined facility would be between 50,000 and 60,000 SF.

St. Petersburg Police Department
St. Petersburg, Florida
Architects Design Group, in association with a local firm, recently completed the analysis of the spatial needs of the City of St. Petersburg Police Department with 545 sworn officers, 250 non-sworn personnel and approximately 150 volunteers. Currently accommodated in an antiquated facilities a product of numerous additions and separate facilities, resulting in a fragmentation of its various divisions. Projections of space need were based upon series of in depth interviews with each division, forms and analysis of their existing facilities as well as a series of presentations to command staff as well as city administrative staff.
Current spatial needs, based upon the analysis, indicated that the department needed approximately 225,750 sq ft, plus an additional 12,763 sq ft for an associated Emergency Operations Center, with an estimated construction value of $64,110,260. In total, five different options were analyzed and presented to the city as a means of providing them with sufficient information as to arrive at an "informed decision".
The study also included a review and/or discussion relative to such issues as: survivability, green building design criteria, as well as a preliminary analysis of the proposed site of the new facility.

Fort Myers Fire Administration
Fort Myers, Florida
ADG is providing planning and design services to the City of Fort Myers for it's Fire Station No. 1 and Administration Facility. The facility is to be located in the heart of the downtown Fort Myers area, and will contribute to the urban renewal of this riverfront city. The City of Fort Myers, located in southwest Florida/Lee County is one of the fastest growing regions in the country. Fort Myers is transitioning into a true urban environment, with an increasing number of high-rises under construction and support for mixed-use development opportunities.
The current Fire Station No. 1 serves the downtown area and is also the Department's main "hub" station. The existing station, built in 1950 and renovated in 1982, no longer meets the needs of the growing Department. The new facility will provide the City with a state-of-the-art Fire Station No. 1 which will also effectively provide the many centralized Department functions, including the storage of reserve and specialized apparatus, equipment maintenance and repair, fire rescue training and public education programs. The facility will also bring the Department's Fire Administration and Fire Prevention services back under one roof, in conjunction with the fire station, to streamline operations and more efficiently utilize common space needs requirements.
ADG has completed the initial programming tasks, with a spatial need asssessment, site evaluation and concept master plan. Design will commence in 2010, with an anticipated start date for construction in 2011.
