Project Description
The Rosemount Police Station and Public Works Facility was constructed on a 20-acre greenfield site in one of Minnesota’s fastest-growing communities. Designed to accommodate continued growth, the facility features flexible interior spaces and allows for future expansion.
Prominently located along Biscayne Avenue, the building serves as a welcoming civic presence. Its large scale and proximity to residential neighborhoods posed design challenges, addressed by breaking down the massing into smaller, human-scale components. Drawing inspiration from Rosemount’s history and the vernacular of UMore Park, the exterior incorporates architectural precast elements that create a dynamic and engaging façade.
The campus includes extensive native landscaping, a spacious public lobby, and a 120-person community training room. Shared public areas serve both the police and public works departments, offering secure yet intuitive access to city services.
To meet durability standards and expedite construction, the facility uses insulated architectural precast wall panels and a steel structural system — balancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and architectural character.
The police department’s operational spaces include offices, evidence processing and storage, support areas, and a 32-stall indoor squad garage. State-of-the-art training amenities include a sixlane, 25-yard indoor tactical range, a defensive tactics training area, and simulation-ready classrooms to support routine training needs.
Designed to enhance the quality of both staff and vehicle areas, the facility features private offices for leadership and a mix of formal and informal workspaces that foster collaboration at all levels. Staff amenities — such as locker rooms, a break room, and training and meeting rooms — provide functionality and comfort that were lacking in the previous facility.
