The Montgomery County District 6 police station in Gaithersburg, MD, sets a new benchmark for sustainable public safety design. As the county’s first net-zero energy police facility, this 30,000-square-foot station demonstrates that operational resilience, occupant wellness and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand. The station’s design integrates on-site photovoltaic arrays, air source heat pumps, high-performance building envelope and advanced daylighting strategies to achieve net-zero performance. Functionally, the design supports 24/7 operations with a two-level parking structure for the department’s motorcade, secure evidence and detention areas and staff wellness amenities. The project strengthens community relations through a welcoming civic presence, a public lobby and community meeting room, and landscape elements that connect to the surrounding Gaithersburg neighborhood.
