The Central Park Police Precinct is a national and New York City landmark and has been home to the New York Police Department since 1936. the build ing was designed in 1870 by Jacob Wrey Mould to be a stable.
This project was initiated to restore the building itself, accommodate a new larger program from the police, and allow for a modernized police precinct stationhouse. The Police Department also needed more space for additional and upgraded technology, security and communications. The addition of a lightweight metal canopy over the existing courtyard allows the complex to function in a way that is compatible with the original design. The courtyard, originally intended for moving and organizing carts and horses, now will serve as the organizing principal of the new precinct. All stationhouse function will center on a new lobby and main desk which will occupy the newly enclosed courtyard. At the completion of the façade restoration, interior renovation and new addition the temporary stationhouse will be demolished to create room for a parking lot.AIA Justice Facility Review Certificate of Merit 2006
