Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to design a new, state-of-the-art police precinct campus to replace the existing outdated facility.

Arrington Watkins Architects, LLC’s services include, but are not limited to: design of a comprehensive police precinct campus consisting of multiple structures and supporting infrastructure; incorporate design provisions for future expansion to accommodate population growth projections; coordinate with the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture to integrate artwork into the facility design, and assist the City in identifying and applying for applicable federal, state, and utility grants for sustainability features.
