PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
After receiving the necessary funding and permitting, this three-story, 42,000 square foot building project was underway. This public safety facility houses office facilities for employees, an evidence lab, records center; fitness center, firearms practice range, emergency operations center, and a 911 call center for the City of Bangor. To allow for future expansion, it was designed for the addition of a fourth floor.

the indoor air quality was not compromised.
