The New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) aging 9th Precinct station house, located in Lower Manhattan, no longer met the needs of a 21st-century police force. In replacing the precinct’s Depression-era building, the revamped eight-story, 39,000-square-foot facility has state-of-the-art security systems, energy-efficient equipment and new life safety systems.
The New York City Department of Design and Construction selected STV to create a facilities program and design for a new building. A contemporary two-story lobby provides the interface between the police and the public. The original façade was disassembled and restored with new first-floor entrances, windows and graphics, contextual with the historic nature of the building, providing a continuing contribution to the community.
