With multiple police departments housed in aging and undersized facilities across Salem, Ore., the city needed a new headquarters to bring 29 departments under one roof.
The new station includes evidence storage, a crime lab, training spaces and the emergency operations center. The 104,000-sq-ft building with an adjacent 77,000-sq-ft parking garage also includes a community meeting room, lobby and outdoor plaza. Contractor JE Dunn coordinated with local schools to develop a high school internship program on the project.
