Local governments around the country continue to constrain their budgets and the need for suitable public safety structures remains the same. Thus, multi-agency (Fire, Law Enforcement, City Hall, etc.) public safety facilities have increased in popularity due to their potential for cost savings. During this session, Jim will describe the process of designing a multi-agency facility that not only houses multiple agencies but does so in a functional manner. Through sensible design, shared/non-shared spaces, and controlled access, a combined public safety facility can be a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to a local government’s public safety facility problem.
