With a prominent location on Main Street in Lehi, this new public safety and police station was designed to reflect various architectural styles and periods. The city purchased the site, home to the historic Broadbent General Store originally built in 1892, after it closed for good in 2017, and the building was deemed structurally deficient. The station’s design reflects the site’s history, incorporating a replica of the Broadbent building at a larger scale and combining pioneer and traditional styles with modern features. The nearly 44,000-sq-ft, two-story building meets public safety needs while enhancing the streetscape. 

The glass-structured lobby brings light into the space and features an open stairway, terrazzo flooring, reclaimed bricks from the Broadbent Building, a granite wall, metal panels and glass and wood accents. Exterior finishes include brick, large glazing walls, architectural concrete, glass-fiber reinforced concrete panels, precast concrete and metal panels that required careful coordination with suppliers and trade partners.
