This new 5-story + Basement, $93M facility is a striking landmark within the City of Phoenix’s urban landscape, sets a new standard for environmentally appropriate architecture within Maricopa County’s inventory of civic facilities, and showcases the importance of 911 Dispatch and law enforcement within our civil society. The MCSO Headquarters and 911 Center provide emergency dispatch to a 9,226 square mile region and is the consolidated administrative center for the Sherriff’s Office and its 700 sworn officers. Originally, MCSO administrative functions were scattered among five separate buildings, whose operational logistics presented a range of coordination and management challenges. The new Center addresses those challenges in an accessible, environmentally friendly building that enhances employee productivity and accountability. The facility is located within a quarter mile of the nearest light-rail station. LEED™ Silver Certification was achieved.
