The 1MP Company and ADFIS - Service Police Precinct was a response to the 1MP Company Unit expanding beyond its existing facilities.
The 1MP Company and ADFIS - Service Police precinct consists of company headquarters, platoon office accommodation and SAL’s, Company Q Store, a Vehicle Transport Compound and police station.
The precinct plan has been designed to facilitate optimal workflow and traffic movement with consideration to geographical location, site constraints. Furthermore operational capability has to be maximised during construction.
The facilities have been sited and planned to minimise direct sun on the facade and saturation through windows and to provide optimum daylight penetration. In addition Conrad Gargett was asked to provide ‘fit for purpose’ facilities to enhance operational capability.
Facilitating future expansion was a core requirement of the brief. This has been achieved by preservation zones on greenfield sites, appropriate permanent functions are clustered and internal spaces are column free to maximise flexibility. All of this is combined with a modular building design and simple building forms.
The Service Police Precinct project meets the operational and functional requirements of 1MP Company and ADFIS whilst delivering a cost-effective, low-maintenance and robust design solution for Defence.
