The Public Safety Center is now the new home of the city’s Emergency Management Department and Police Department. Located at 6125 SW Hall Blvd, the building is a three story, 72,000+ sq ft building designed to accommodate departmental growth to the year 2050. At full capacity it is planned for more than 250 employees and is designed to meet current earthquake efficiency standards to help maintain essential city services during earthquake and other emergency situations. The city partnered with PGE to help design a robust backup power system that includes a generator, solar energy, and a battery energy storage system to allow the building to be functional during wide spread power outages for a prolonged period. The project team, Shiels Obletz Johnsen, FFA Architecture & Interiors, and Skanska Construction worked diligently to make this project a success for the Beaverton community.
