Grand Blanc Township Engineering Design Services

Peter Basso Associates provided engineering services for the modern 41,000 square-foot police headquarters for Grand Blanc Township. The main level of the new facility includes holding cell, a dispatch area, office space, administrative areas, and a multi-purpose space for public meetings as well as police training for up to 100 people. The lower level of the facility includes locker rooms, an evidence lab, space for an indoor gun range, technology rooms and mechanical rooms.

The power systems were designed for reliable power with capacity for growth for the police functions. The entire building is backed up by an onsite diesel powered generator. The site was designed to have a permanent feel using concrete light poles and power distributed for outdoor events and holiday lighting. The interior of the building was designed with all the amenities of a modern office building. Power and telecommunications systems are available throughout the building. The lighting systems were designed to provide appropriate light levels and a comfortable working environment. The lighting was designed to support the functions and requirements of all police functions, offices, holding areas, conference areas, training, etc., as well as for the public uses of the building. Portions of the building were designed to support public gatherings and other functions.
