The South Patrol campus represents a leap forward in the design of Kansas City’s public safety facilities. By combining several major elements of the police department’s administration and emergency response, the design team created a versatile, flexible and efficient facility that supports collaboration within the department. The new police station has a highly visible presence in the community.
A 29,000-sq. ft. multipurpose facility has additional specialty office space and a workout and training facility and doubles as a public shelter. Several small buildings, including a kennel, large vehicle and motorcycle storage buildings, and a fuel dispensing station, round out the campus.
This facility was designed to obtain a LEED Gold designation, accomplished by meeting pollution control and clean air criteria and employing creative stormwater control and energy-saving strategies that include a geothermal heating and cooling system.
