RYE BROOK VILLAGE HALL AND POLICE HEADQUARTERS a. Project Description The Village needed additional space for growing department offices and police headquarters which were limited and costly in existing rented facilities. With the purchase of the three (3) acre site with existing meeting room structure, the Village and architect moved quickly to develop the building program and explore concept solutions and feasibility for use of the existing building and for budget planning. The 15,000 SF facility includes administrative offices, building department, recreation department, meeting rooms and police department with lower level expansion capacity. b. Special Challenges the stated objective was maximum space for minimum cost, while providing the necessary technical systems for extensive police communications, security, emergency power, computer networking, elevator access, etc. The design challenges included creative appropriate civic spaces with an office building budget, maximizing use of existing building, and preserving the beautiful site while providing adequate parking and circulation. c. Meeting the Program Needs: Special attention was given to locating departments and circulation for required hierarchy of public access and control. Three split-level floor areas met the zoning regulations and provided the requested separations while achieving grade level areas for police department and public meeting spaces. Budget conscious and flexible building systems were specified but carefully designed with special treatment at public lobbies and meeting rooms.
