Whitman Police Station

About

Location: Whitman, MA
Size: 17,000 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2011

Squeezed into 7,500 sq. ft. in the back of Whitman’s Town Hall, the original police station had a number of issues including code compliance and lack of accessibility. Context Architecture developed a program for a new, 17,000 sq. ft. police station located just off the Town’s common. The two-story building provides an efficient, accessible complex that accommodates a range of police functions including dispatch, lock-up training, and community relations. The new site is designed to allow easy public access separate from police vehicles. After presenting the study, the Town wanted to move forward quickly, and our firm completed the programming, design, and construction documents in less than six months. Construction was finished in last than twelve.
