UCLA Police Station - A LEED Certified 23,800 square feet, building designed by: Architect: STUDIOS Architecture Contractor: Novus Construction Owner: University of California, Los Angeles Special Recognition: TMAD Taylor & Gaines
Located on a prominent site on Westwood Avenue and adjacent to the university physical plant, UCLA’s new Campus Police Station partners with neighboring buildings to create a primary gateway to the campus. The design incorporates an industrial aesthetic with the university’s traditional brick palette.
Police station that is twice as big as the old building and makes use of open stairwells, large shatter-proof windows with wide open views and skylight to let in natural light. The two-story station is divided into a series of self-contained suites from which a person can only enter or leave using fingerprint scanners at the doors & a state of the art Fingerprint-activated Elevator.
