Sunrise Public Safety and Training Complex Architects Design Group

Sunrise Public Safety and Training Complex

 

ADG was selected by the City of Sunrise for the design of the 132,000-SF Sunrise Public Safety and Training Complex. The contracted scope of services included the development of a detailed spatial needs assessment, master planning, cost estimating, design, and construction administration. The public safety complex was designed to house the entire operations of the Sunrise Police Department, the joint county / city 911 communications center (PSAP), fire-rescue administration and training, municipal EOC, city-wide MIS data center, and an eight-lane indoor firing range.

 

Police divisions within the complex included administration, internal affairs, records, detective’s division, crime scene unit, crime analysis unit, property and evidence, victim advocacy program, patrol, SWAT, and crisis negotiation unit. The facility was also designed to include an evidence processing lab, located on the second floor across from the evidence drop and storage area. The lab design included stainless steel counters, chemical resistant cabinets, epoxy flooring, a fume hood, emergency eye wash, and various analysis equipment.

Fire Station No. 72 is a four-bay, 19,045-SF two-story station. It includes approximately 4,000-SF of logistics storage, typical living spaces, such as dining, dayroom, kitchen, offices, and entry lobby space on the first floor, and bunk rooms and physical agility space on the second level. Additionally, the station was connected to the main public safety building, which houses fire administration, via a covered exterior courtyard with a fountain that connects to fire service classroom training spaces.

 

The project site, located on the city’s municipal complex, included existing buildings on-site that provided a context for the design referenced through colors, materials, and complimentary details, creating a unified sense of identity within the complex. During the project planning phase, ADG examined vehicle and pedestrian access, utility network, and overall site infrastructure connections with modification recommendations to benefit current municipal complex functionality and enhance future improvements. This project received the Eagle Award for Excellence in Construction.
