From Big-Box Store to One-Stop Shop for Justice

Wood Harbinger receives HPAC Engineering's 2015 Design Award for its role in the transformation of a wholesale warehouse into a public-safety building. In 2011, the City of Kirkland, Wash., annexed several neighborhoods and saw its population surge. The police department expanded in personnel, but not in space, and soon felt squeezed in its 15,000-sq-ft area of City Hall. When a former wholesale warehouse (Photo A) became available, the city purchased the building with tax funds.
