Building layout
The CHP facility is a single story building designed for a corner site. The overall layout of the building was a natural solution for the inherently defensible concept developed by the design team. The two wings that form the plan are narrow sections served by double-loaded corridors. This layout allows for a very efficient circulation arrangement within the building. The facility includes Administration, Special Duty Officers, Briefing, Report Writing, Intake locker rooms and training facilities. The new building also includes a 3,500 sf Auto Service Bay and 146 foot radio communications tower.
