Multi-agency (fire, law enforcement, city hall, etc.) facilities have increased in popularity due to potential for cost savings.

Through sensible design, shared/non-shared spaces and controlled access, a combined facility can be a comprehensive and cost effective solution to a local government’s facility needs.
