Medford Police Headquarters
About
Location: Medford, MA
Size: 35,000 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2021
Situated on the Town’s Public Safety Campus, shared with the Fire Headquarters and the Training Academy, Medford’s new Police Headquarters includes equitable facilities for female and male staff, a booking and detention area that meets modern policing standards, private and shared work areas, and public meeting space.
Using a detailed matrix of factors including cost, available land, proximity to the surrounding town, and synergy of co-location, a comprehensive evaluation of numerous sites determined that the best location for the replacement station was on the current campus, necessitating site-specific design to accommodate flood-zone mitigation.
