K-9 EOD FACILITY

As part of a joint venture, we designed a new facility for the Atlanta Police Department’s K-9/Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The design created more capacity and developed space to help the Atlanta Police Department’s K-9/EOD unit better respond to airside incidents.

Acknowledging the extended hours the Atlanta Police Department’s K-9/EOD team members would spend within the new facility, we made it a priority to infuse the design with ample natural light. With security at the forefront of the design, views from both public and private areas of the facility were glazed.

The new 16,844 square foot facility has offices, workshop areas for Atlanta Police Department’s K-9/EOD team members and robotic training, showers, locker rooms, conference facilities, a fitness room, dog kennels, runs and wash, and a gun vault. The design promotes personnel interaction, while simultaneously creating space for solitude.
