PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Lawton Public Safety Facility takes an innovative, hybrid approach to how the city provides public safety. The town, which formerly relied on outdated facilities for its public safety needs, chose to construct a new facility that would comprise multiple city departments as one connected building. The 2015 voter-approved sales tax extension funded the $33.7 million building and includes a police station, fire station, jail, and municipal court.

• Designed fire protection systems, fire alarms, and annunciation systems in support of fire suppression sprinklers.
