Sunrise, FL (July 22, 2011) – Architects Design Group (ADG), headquartered in Winter Park, announced the firm has completed the $32.5 million, 125,000 square foot Public Safety Complex for the City of Sunrise, Florida.

The complex, which combines the Sunrise Police Department, Fire Rescue Administration and Training, Joint-Use Broward County/City of Sunrise 911 Communications Center, Emergency Operations Center, M.I.S. Data Center, and an indoor eight-lane Firing Range into a five-story state-of-the-art facility, celebrated its grand opening on June 4, 2011. Attendees included elected officials, city officials, ADG, the construction management team of Stiles Construction, and over 200 city residents.

ADG designed the complex to include all the necessary elements for a fully functioning police department; vehicle evidence processing, emergency services unit vehicle storage and a drive through sallyport, serving the multiple-cell holding facility. Adjacent to the Public Safety facility is a four-bay station and a centralized energy plant.

The structure is designed to withstand wind speeds of 160 mph, with 100 percent mechanical and electrical redundancy to all critical infrastructure to ensure the complex remains operational before, during and after a natural or manmade disaster.

In addition, ADG designed the complex with “green” principles in mind, including the use of water cooled chillers, a high performance exterior façade, high efficiency light fixtures, light sensors, WaterStar compliant plumbing fixtures, reflective roofing, Low VOC materials, recycled materials, and the use of regional materials.
