Orange County Sheriff’s Office Building Sector II is a 24/7 essential facility housing the sheriff department that includes spaces for detectives, agricultural and marine, patrol and tactical motor patrol command. ADG was selected for the design and construction administration for this 24,356-SF facility. The building was designed to resist wind forces equal to a Category 4 hurricane and is LEED Silver certified. The facility design also included a physical agility space with showers and lockers, food service area, training room, briefing room, and a vehicle sally port.
A tilt-up exterior wall system and Low-E, large missile tested glazing were selected with hurricane impact fenestrations and metal sunshade devices throughout. A series of light monitors were incorporated in the design to meet the day lighting LEED criteria combined with the energy efficient light fixtures specified. The emergency generator provided redundancy power for the entire facility and for all functions of the building making it survivable for up to 48 hours of operations.
