NEW CONSTRUCTION

The South Central Police Sub-Station is a 38,000 square foot state-of-the-art police facility set on a 10 acre greenfield site serving a rapidly growing working class suburb located approximately 15 miles south of downtown Dallas, Texas.  The station facility, dedicated in October 2007, is the first new police station constructed in Dallas since a generation of “bunker” mentality structures built almost 20 years ago, and is envisioned as a prototype for a new public image signifying the structure as a “beacon of safety” and community center.  Consistent with City of Dallas sustainable goals, the station achieved U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold certification meeting the requirements of the LEED for New Construction Version 2.1 Rating System.  The facility contains first geothermal Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning system project for the City.  With this system, even considering that the station operates 24 hours of each day, the building is scheduled to achieve a 58% energy conservation savings over the LEED Rating System baseline regulatory requirements.
