Hartford Public Safety Complex
HARTFORD, CT
This 146,000-square-foot public safety facility is at the center of significant transformation for the City of Hartford. The complex consolidates the city’s police, fire, and emergency services into a single location for the first time in its history and strengthens the link between the Clay Arsenal and Albany Avenue neighborhoods and Hartford’s Central Business District. The 5.7 acre site’s central location helps to minimize police, fire and emergency service response times.
The project is made up of 4 functional areas and shared amenity spaces:
- Police: 100,000-square-feet includes police command staff, central police station, briefing rooms, motorcycle patrol.
- Fire: 40,000-square-feet. Fire command staff, Fire Marshall
- Emergency Operation Center: Technology rich emergency operations center and briefing room designed for use in a crisis or natural disaster.
- Dispatch/Emergency Communications: 5,000-square-feet for 911 and 511 dispatch.
JCJ’s design addressed the complex operational needs of these departments, provided parity between their programs and integrated them effectively into a single facility on a compact urban location.
