Lafayette Public Safety Center

American Structurepoint improves the quality of life for the people and communities we serve, and our work in Lafayette, Indiana, is helping law enforcement protect the community while building relationships with the public.

The new $51 million Lafayette Public Safety Center and Parking Garage features the latest design trends that reflect the concept of community policing. American Structurepoint partnered with Architects Design Group to create a design solution that addresses the unique challenges of designing a highly secure building while also maintaining a welcoming environment for the public. Security elements include bullet-resistant glazing in key areas, a safe room where victims of crime can seek immediate assistance from police officers, and a victim’s advocate space.

A second-floor community room can accommodate up to 100 guests. The community room opens to an outdoor plaza that provides a gathering space with a pergola and seating area for live entertainment and movie screenings. A large and welcoming lobby, connected by a monumental staircase, further enhances public access to various spaces within the building. This 70,000 sft public safety center will serve as a new police facility and community gathering space, improving the quality of life for the people of Lafayette and the community.
