Project Description The police station includes a spacious reception area, a conference room, office areas, and a secure suspect processing area. These spaces are organized along the building’s perimeter to provide a welcoming and well‐lit area maximizing natural daylight. A terra cotta façade ties the new facility into the look and feel of existing buildings on campus. The three‐story parking structure provides 815 parking spaces. The police station is on track to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification, the highest designation possible and the first higher‐education facility in San Diego County to be awarded as such.

Sustainable Features • The project includes a green roof and a green screen. The sustainability benefits include insulation from intense temperatures, the generation of a microclimate that helps restore the local habitat, and the retention of stormwater. • The tower element serves as a solar chimney which is a passive solar strategy to create a flow of natural ventilation. The top of the tower will heat up, and louvers will provide for air exhaust at the high point. Inside the building, exposed concrete walls and ceiling will create a thermal mass that can store heat during the day, and release it during the night to keep the building comfortable during operating hours. • The police station will use reclaimed water for flushing toilets. Reclaimed water will be used for all irrigation needs as well.
