Roth Sheppard Architects

This 14,500 SF police facility replaces an existing 4,000sf police department now located in the basement of the existing Windsor Town Hall.  Roth + Sheppard Architects worked with the town to evaluate alternative sites, program the police and court/ council, develop a schematic design pricing package, and determine alternative funding opportunities and construction delivery methodologies.

The police facility site is located adjacent to the Towns new recreation Center, allowing the two entities to share parking and community space.  The single story ‘L’ shaped footprint is oriented to screen the secure police functions from public view while taking advantage of distant mountain views and southern exposure.   Secure police functions are carefully located along the perimeter to receive natural daylight yet maintain separation from the surrounding public parking.  A day lighted interior corridor provides access to all police functions and connects to the covered patrol car parking.  Booking, evidence / property, covered parking and locker room functions are all contained within a cost effective metal building shell, while office, support and public functions are arranged in a more flexible, open plan environment.  Sustainable features include a solar photovoltaic roof, geothermal based mechanical, operable ventilation windows, extensive day lighting, and low VOC renewable and recyclable materials.

In addition to providing full service architecture and interior design, Roth + Sheppard Architects is assisting the Town of Windsor with their USDA Loan application and the general contractor pre-qualification selection process.
