Completed in April of 2011, the $12.5 million, 27,130 S.F. UMass Police Station is inviting and approachable to visitors, while maintaining the high level of safety and security required for a police station. Originally located in Dickinson Hall, the new facility relocates UMass police services to the campus perimeter, preserving the core for students, faculty, and academics. The facility operates 24/7 around the clock, 365 days a year, and includes spaces for police training, patrol, investigation, and emergency response.
The facility serves a public safety and teaching role on the university campus. A green kiosk in the lobby provides educational information to students about the building’s green features, and displays live building energy usage statistics. Designed by Caolo & Bieniek Associates, Inc., it is the first new construction project on the UMass campus designed to meet LEED standards, and achieved Gold certification in 2011.
