The new Palo Alto Public Safety Building expands public safety services within a high-performance, resilient structure. The new 24/7 facility can operate independently during natural disasters. The design prioritizes flexibility, collegiality, and community sensitivity. Coupled with a robust public engagement process, the result is a public safety building designed to be a good neighbor in a sensitive, established neighborhood.

The new PSB contains a police station, fire administration, and emergency communications and operations facility. It includes two full-block subterranean floors of secure police and staff parking, a site utility yard, a public plaza, and a 135-foot communications tower. The project also provides a new 636-vehicle parking garage located across the street from the PSB.
