Police Headquarters, Woodland
 Woodland's
new police station was designed and constructed to be the
centerpiece of the city's commitment to safety, community
pride and the environment. Located in a city redevelopment
area, the mixed-use facility is anticipated to be the driving
force in the revitalization of Woodland's historic downtown
area. The 52,300-sq.-ft. complex includes a 42,000-sq.-ft.,
two-story structure to house police operations, training and
administration; a community room/emergency operations center;
and city information services. In addition to the main building,
an adjacent 10,745-sq.-ft. service building includes a 3,300-sq.-ft.
area for patrol car and motorcycle storage, vehicle impounds
and maintenance area, below-grade classrooms, a basement shooting
range and secured armory.
"The design/build team consistently
demonstrated it had the best interests of the city in
mind by maintaining open communication and looking for
ongoing opportunities to save costs. They have partnered
with the city of Woodland to produce a product that
will enhance the redevelopment of the area."
-Richard Kirkwood, Woodland
city manager.

Woodland's Police Headquarters was a design/build project
and is expected to be one of the nation's first police facilities
certified by the U.S. Green Building Council under its Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating
System.
To maximize energy efficiency, both buildings are equipped
with a variety of sustainable design features, including:
- significant use of direct and indirect day-lighting and
a two-story atrium throughout the complete length of the
main building;
- high-efficiency mechanical and electrical systems; use
of low-emissive construction materials;
- installation of a highly reflective single-ply roofing
system;
- and the incorporation of a bio-swale to serve as a natural
water purification system for rainfall run-off before it
re-enters the city storm drain system.
The building envelope and HVAC design is approximately 30-
to 40-percent more efficient than the Title 24 compliance
requirements. The lighting elements are expected to reduce
the amount of energy used by 30 percent, which will result
in the owner receiving a $30,000 rebate from Pacific Gas &
Electric's "Savings by Design" program.
