"B" District
Police Facility
This facility occupies an area
of 20,300 gross square feet, and is programmed primarily
for offices to house workspace for detectives,
lieutenants, captains, and the chief district inspector.
Included in the facility is a fitness center. There
are large locker and shower facilities for the street officers,
along with
associated training, report, storage, and exercise rooms.
The public function is particularly critical, as
Main Street and the neighboring theaters create a major pedestrian
thoroughfare.
The two-story public lobby and corner community room provide
a spacious environment for community interaction with the
Police Department.
Foit-Albert Associates’ goal for the “B” District Police Facility
was to design a welcoming and civic gesture to the public, as well
as providing a state-of-the-art facility that exceeds the Buffalo
Police Department's needs set by the City of Buffalo.
