Once fully completed, the new Police Academy will sit on a 30-acre campus and be able to train approximately 2,000 recruits at any one time. It will feature instruction space for providing immersive, scenario based training for police personnel; support and administration buildings; a field house; indoor shooting ranges; a tactical village; a housing facility for visiting instructors; driver training fields; parking and a utility plant. The facilities will be designed for in-service training of officers, as well as for recruit training.The project was designed with community concerns at the forefront of the planning process. The location is isolated from residential streets, reducing any impact the academy's operations will have on the College Point community. The Department of Transportation and Department of Design and Construction worked closely with the community to identify traffic mitigation measures that will be put in place prior to the opening of the new academy. The location will have ample on-site parking for NYPD personnel, including a 3,000-car parking garage, to ensure those using the academy are not utilizing local parking spaces. The location is also well served by existing mass transportation options.The total cost for the first phase of the new academy is estimated at $750 million and the project's construction is a joint venture of Turner Construction Company and STV Incorporated. A cost estimate for the full academy project has not been finalized as some components of the project's design are ongoing.The construction of the new academy is covered by one of the "Project Labor Agreements" announced by Mayor Bloomberg in November. The agreements, made with the Building and Construction Trades Council, will cover $5.3 billion in public projects comprising 32,000 construction jobs over the next four years. By easing the City's bidding requirements and standardizing work rules, the City will save nearly $300 million on major public projects like the new Police Academy. The savings will be used by the City to fund additional capital projects, allowing projects that may have been delayed due to funding shortfalls to be completed and help create more jobs. The Project Labor Agreements are expected to reduce construction costs at the Police Academy by approximately $30 million. The cost of the project was further reduced by locating the academy on land already owned by the City. The first phase of the academy project is expected to create 2,000 construction jobs.The entire complex is being designed to achieve a LEED Silver rating. Some of the sustainable design measures under consideration include: an energy-efficient central utility plant; green roofs and high albedo roofs; a high performance building envelope with solar shading and daylight enhancement; daylight harvesting in classrooms and offices; rainwater harvesting and reuse on site; bio-filtration of stormwater runoff; energy efficient lighting in all spaces; and automated building controls.http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/html/2009b/pr540-09.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1
