Atlanta Public Safety Headquarters

The City of Atlanta needed a space that could house both the Atlanta Fire Rescue and Police Department as well as help them work together to promote security for the community. Construction of the five-story building, along with a 500-car parking garage for City vehicles, included areas for administration, investigation, education, and recruiting for both organizations.

With CxGBS’s assistance, several sustainable development principles were implemented in the design and construction process to meet the city’s goals. In accordance with the City of Atlanta’s Greener City Initiatives, the building achieved LEED Silver certification.
