Public Safety Center in El Cajon
KMA Architecture & Engineering (KMA) announced
that construction is over 60 percent complete on the City of El Cajon’s new $40
million Public Safety Center. Designed by KMA, the center is located on a 3.5-acre
site in downtown El Cajon at the corner of Magnolia and East Park Avenue,
adjacent to the City of El Cajon Civic Center. It is expected be complete in June
2011.
“We’re
excited to see our designs take shape on budget and on time,” said Don Blair,
president of KMA. “The Public Safety Center is a landmark building for El Cajon
and with state-of-the-art public spaces and sustainable design features, the
building will greatly enhance the city’s downtown area.”

safety facilities and a multi-story building, which includes space that
functions as a community room and an emergency operations center for the region.
A 166,000-square-foot parking structure has also been designed and will include
garages, vehicle maintenance facilities and parking for 638 police and city
staff. The project includes many sustainable features, such as daylighting,
high efficiency glass and shading devices.
Progress on the construction,
which began June 2009, can be seen in a time-lapse video on the city of El
Cajon’s Web site ci.el-cajon.ca.us.
