Iowa Park, Texas

SLA provided conceptual design to house new administration offices, new police station, new fire station, and a new community center for the citizens of Iowa Park. The Administration Area is designed to house all City Departments and the Police Station is designed to be isolated with its own entrance and sallyport. The Fire Station houses 6 drive-through primary bays (double vehicle depth). Also, the Community Center provides banquet seating for 500 persons. Total project contains 43,884sf of renovation space and 11,208sf of new construction for a total of 55,092sf. The building was originally a Wal-Mart Building purchased by the City for future development. The main design challenge was in converting an existing retail shell building into a modern functioning facility as well as providing a strong image for a growing community. Project was taken through design concept.
