A case study of the Rosemount, MN Police and Public Works facility, a 160,000-square-foot facility located on a 20-acre site within one of the fastest growing Minnesota cities. This multi-agency facility was thoughtfully planned to maximize shared space and collaboration between the departments while providing the necessary secure facilities for police operations. At 50,000 SF, the police station includes workspace, interview rooms, temporary holding, evidence processing/storage, indoor 25-yd tactical gun range, physical training and wellness areas, and a 35-stall squad garage.

This project was delivered through a Construction Manager Agent (CMA) approach. We will touch on how the CMA approach benefited this project through collaborative planning, cost control, and quality assurance. We will share our experience navigating the complexities of construction, from design to completion, and lessons learned from the design and construction teams, as well as the Police Department. Additionally, during this case study we will highlight the unique features of this facility, how to accommodate efficient operational flow while working within a shared facility, adaptability, wellness functions, and the bases for planning a successful facility.
