District 3 Headquarters is a state-of-the-art facility and was the first LEED Platinum, Net-Zero Energy police station in the world! Located on the City’s west side, 200 of Cincinnati’s finest officers serve 14 diverse neighborhoods. Community engagement was critical for the project’s success, where feedback from police staff, neighborhood committees, and city planners influenced the overall design aesthetic and sustainability goals. The robust goals not only reduced life cycle costs but also ensured police functionality and tenant security measures were met, and in most cases, exceeded. Other unique aspects of the design include wayfinding, the “1 Percent Public Art Program”, and several elements supporting Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). District 3 continues to serve as a catalyst for positive change and for integrating social and environmental factors into the design process.
