Fairfield Police Station
(GAO project architect - design development and construction documentation
concept design Angus Bell)
$8mil
Completed 2008
The new station is a 3 storey building with
a basement, designed to accommodate 200 Police on the existing station site.
The narrow urban site is bound by a 4 storey building on the neighbouring property to
the north, and must maintain a connection
to Fairfield Courthouse to the east. These constraints are accommodated by pulling
the building envelope back from the northern boundary. This strategy provides a trafficable courtyard with vehicle access to the basement, and a maximum of daylighting into the new building. The various office areas, breakout spaces & staff facilities are located on the north
