Freetown Police Station
Compass Group Architecture designed a new Police Station for the Town of Freetown to replace the currently undersized and outdated structure. The new station will be located on the corner of Memorial drive and Chace Rd. The unique slope of the site allowed us to provide street level access at both the ground and attic levels, as well as providing a complete separation of public and police personnel traffic.

North Attleboro Police Facility
Project scope included the renovation of a former 30,000 SF industrial jewelry factory to house the new Police Station facility for the Town of North Attleboro. The building was fully renovated to meet all code regulations, ADA requirements, and to effectively house the high tech equipment associated with communication and evidence processing, etc. The renovations scope entailed a complete upgrade to all MEP systems and infrastructure to support the new program. The facility’s community room is used as the region’s Emergency Management Center and includes electrical outlets at each seat. An addition houses the vehicle garage and sally port for prisoner transfer. The exterior presence of the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was restored to its original splendor, respectful of its historical significance. Materials utilized for the addition and renovation were matched to the existing materials to provide a seamless transition between the old
and new.

Harwich Public Safety
Scope included 21,900 SF of new construction for the Harwich Police Station located on the same site as the original police station which was later demolished. The new facility was connected to the existing fire station to create a public safety complex. Renovations of approximately 2,200 SF to the existing fire station were completed to accommodate dispatch, communication, the main entrance, and a conference room which are shared between the two departments. Features of the new facility include a 2-bay sally port, maintenance garage, large training room, fitness and locker rooms, evidence lab and storage area, archive storage room, and separate cell areas for men, women, and juveniles. Secure parking for police vehicles and equipment and access to the sally port are separate from both staff and visitor parking. The police station also serves as the Town’s Emergency Operations Center. The site is steeply sloped, which required careful planning and design. Site work included new access roads,
paking lots, and utilities. The design anticipated ground-level future solar photovoltaic arrays, which the Town subsequently added along the parking lot. Extensive site work on steeply sloped site. Dan’s role, as a Principal, was to provide project management, and conduct quality control reviews. He also directly managed the construction from groundbreaking to move-in.
