The Wilmington Police Headquarters is located on an 11 acre site in the North Fourth Street district of the city. The project occupies approximately 85,000 SF on two floors and serves as an anchor for ongoing revitalization and growth in the city’s north side. The project provides ample space and modern technologies to support the current and future needs of the City’s Police and Public Safety Personnel.

The structure not only utilizes load bearing CMU for interior walls, but also as structural backup to the exterior façade. The exterior of the building utilizes a Cast Limestone veneer in the design, which contrasts against the dark brown brick. On the interior the designer selected ground-face CMU in 3 distinct colors to compliment the buildings other finishes. Apart from its attractive interior appeal, this selection also ensures the interior has a timeless yet low maintenance finish.
