As part of a design-build team, ADG was selected to provide programming, master planning, design, and construction administration of a new crime scene and evidence facility for the Orlando Police Department. The project consisted of the adaptive reuse of an existing 82,000-SF warehouse to accommodate evidence operations. The evidence facility was designed to include the property and evidence unit, storage, crime scene investigations and processing labs, training rooms, high density storage, bulk receptor storage, drop lockers, vehicle processing, narcotics, and weapons storage.
This project provided the department with 55,000-SF of evidence space, with an additional 27,000-SF of shell space to be built out for future growth. Critical infrastructure components were tied into the existing emergency operations center systems to provide redundancies for continuity of operations.
