The new Tucson Police Station Crime Laboratory is located adjacent to the existing Westside Police Service Center on West Miracle Mile in Tucson.
Other police facilities will share the site in the future, so a master planning component was necessary to appropriately site the building. The site design uses concepts established by the existing police substation, including staggered site walls and a grouping of palm trees at building entrances. The new building is two stories tall and approximately 65,000 square feet. It maintains a clean, crisp and modern palette with polished masonry, aluminum composite panels, and curtain wall on the exterior skin.
The Crime Laboratory houses the Crime Lab Administration, Quality Assurance, Trace Chemicals, Arson, Explosives, Drugs, Evidence Control, Firearms (including a firing range), Forensic Biology, Latent Fingerprints, Toxicology and Forensic Electronic Media units. Each group has dedicated laboratory space on the north side of the building and office space on the south side.
All new City of Tucson buildings are required to meet a minimum LEED® Silver certification level, and the Crime Lab is targeted to achieve LEED Gold certification.
Don’t miss this outstanding opportunity to tour the laboratory and police station and hear from WSM Architects, Inc. and D.L. Withers Construction about the planning and construction of this facility!
