City of Claremont

TIMELINE: 

In Construction

The project comprises a new construction addition of approximately 1200 square feet to the Claremont Police Department on the east end of the building. The addition features a new women’s locker room facility to provide space for lockers, changing spaces, restrooms, showers, and a quiet room. The new locker room connects to the main building through a newly enclosed entry hallway which will also serve as the new rear entry for the station. The goal of the project is to provide accessible and equivalent facilities for female staff and officers.

The new addition will be an extension to the original 1973 design by local Mid-Century architecture firm Criley & McDowell and will be built using a textured split face reinforced concrete block wall system to closely match the existing building. New furfurylated wood siding will be added to the exterior to bring back an original design feature of the building.

As part of the addition, the sitework will include removing the existing pull-in parking spaces and rebuilding the curb to run continuously along the street. Drought-resistant landscaping along with native trees will be provided around the new addition.
