Located on as seven-acre parcel of land just east of City Hall, the facility will be an 80,000 SF Police Complex and will include the main Pasadena Police Station, prisoner detention, and parking. A crime laboratory and forensics will eventually be incorporated, bringing the project total to approximately 110,000 SF.

Design solutins incorporate sustainable principles and building hardening. Environmentally responsive design will minimize the building's impact on the exterior environment reducing consumption of energy, water, construction materials, and other resources, while enhancing the quality of the indoor environment. Physical security will incorporate accepted principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Building hardening techniques will heighten security protection and mitigate the consequences of structural impact like those caused by hurricane-force winds.
