Manassas Park Police Station

The City of Manassas Park was seeking to not only improve the facilities that house their Police Department, but also to uplift their staff by providing a building that supports the individual and inspires teamwork. The City also sought to extend a welcome hand to the public and open a portion of the station to the community. The design presents an entry facade that projects strength and openness to the community through a traditional civic-style building with a large, open glass curtainwall system revealing a public-use Community Hall. This front portion of the building is enclosed in a red brick box, a warm material expressing permanence.
