What’s the difference between designing a fire house and designing a police facility? Everything. In an era where homeland security is of paramount importance, Tecton’s in-depth expertise in public safety design can ensure the full project – its location on the site as well as the building architecture and interior design – is well suited to the people who use it and the community it serves.
At Tecton we recognize that municipal buildings represent the communities they reside in and our designs reflect the essence of each community. Our experience and comprehensive skill sets, together with a teaming relationship with our clients, lead the way to successfully tackling the design challenges that are unique to public safety – ranging from emergency operations centers, communications centers, and police and fire stations, right down to how critical zones within each facility interact.
Successful projects respect these functional details and weave them into an appropriate aesthetic, creating a project that stands the test of time.
