Through an examination of recently undertaken addition and renovation of the City of Des Peres, Missouri, Public Safety headquarters, a combined law enforcement and fire / EMS agency and facility located in St. Louis County (Missouri), the Owner and Architect will relate their experiences and lessons learned. The presentation will focus on difficulties encountered, challenges overcome, and things they wish they’d have known before they started, all with an eye toward assisting other law enforcement and combined public safety agencies who may be considering a law enforcement building renovation project.
