Rufus Johnson Associates worked with the City of Clarksville to provide planning, programming, design, and construction documents for the Clarksville Police Department District One Precinct. The project began with an evaluation of population growth, service demand, and staffing needs, allowing the facility to be planned to support the district well into the future.
The two-story precinct was designed to incorporate criminal investigation, uniform patrol, administrative functions, and ancillary support spaces within a highly functional and efficient layout. Key features include office suites for leadership and detectives, open work areas for patrol supervision, a vehicle sally port, secure suspect processing areas, a report room, fitness space, and additional office space to accommodate future growth. A briefing and training room located near the main entrance can be secured from the rest of the facility and also serves as a valuable space for community meetings and public forums.
The facility also incorporates a number of sustainable design features, including abundant natural daylight, energy-efficient lighting and mechanical systems, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and the use of recycled and low-VOC materials. The result is a practical, forward-looking public safety facility designed to support both police operations and community engagement.
