District 3 Police Headquarters

摘要

When Cincinnati set out to replace its police headquarters, city leaders wanted a structure that celebrated durable, sustainable design. So they created a competition, inviting a short list of design-build teams to submit innovative, environmentally sustainable plans that still met the city's budget. "We knew we needed to pull out all stops to find the most cost-effective solutions to achieve the city's requirements, create a beautiful, long-lasting iconic structure, and allow us the flexibility to build enhancements to be more competitive," says Chad Wayne Edwards, RA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, principal at emersion DESIGN, the architect on the project. "So precast was a natural fit."
