This project was completed in association with WSKF Architects of Kanssas City, Missouri.

The police and courts building was funded under a public safety bond referendum that also included a fire station. It sits immediately adjacent to City Hall and also serves as Council Chambers. Integration of the new facility into the historic fabric of downtown Pittsburg was critical to the success of the project. Proximity to the historic central library and a planned miner’s memorial park were all important considerations in the site planning and design aesthetics selected for the project.

The 31,000 square foot facility includes a significant portion of the building hardened to support dispatch staff working through extreme weather conditions. The court room is also is included within the hardened zone of the building and can provide for E.O.C. functionality and for general staff shelter.
