Florida International University Police Department and Emergency Operations Center Expansion
SGM provided professional design services for the FIU Police Department and Emergency Operations Center. The facility is integrated into Parking Garage 5. Within the facility is the dispatch and surveillance center, campus support and record services, evidence and uniform storage, men’s and women’s locker/restrooms, squad room, secure weapons and ammunition storage, secure holding facilities complete with an observation work station, two detention grade holding cells and an interview room, secure sally port with pistol locker and eyewash station, and dedicated vertical circulation.
Existing parking spaces on the second floor of the parking garage were infilled to provide a large emergency operations center, storage and service operations, offices, and conference rooms. Adjacent existing space were reconfigured to provide a locker room, showers, sleeping space, laundry service, and offices that are needed during emergency events.
