West Lafayette Public Safety Center

The Redevelopment Commission for the City of West Lafayette selected DLZ to provide complete site development, architecture, engineering, and construction administration services for a new West Lafayette Public Safety Center. DLZ was also commissioned to perform overall Building and Site Programming, investigation of the existing police Department Building systems and infrastructure, as well as asbestos inspection and sampling.

The new WLPSC will be located on an approximate 2.5-acre parcel of land, which currently serves the Police Department and the east adjacent vacant parcel that served the former City Hall.

The existing 34,028 s.f. Police Station no longer met the need of the growing department and the community, its systems and infrastructure had exceeded their useful life span, resulting in increased operation costs. The entire building will be renovated and repurposed based on the new developed Program of Space. The existing new Program reflects 86,207 gsf with a 40,480 gsf parking structure. The new facility will serve the operations of the Police Department (26,536 gsf), the Fire Department (19,825 gsf) with shared common space (33,394 gsf). Site development will include access drives, parking, utility services, on-site storm water management and landscaping.

The proposed development includes the renovation and addition to the existing Police Department facility to create a new 86,000 gsf West Lafayette Public Safety Center (WLPSC), which will include the Police Department operations (26,000 gsf) the Fire Station No. 2 and Fire Headquarters (36,000 gsf), Common Space (26,000 gsf). A 100-car parking structure will also be constructed.
