Kensington Roat' Page I of 2 Information The New Police Headquarters to be located at 799 Biermann Court, which will be renamed 911 E. Kensington Road oncit the new driveway is installed off of Kensington, has seen steady progress since the Village Board authorized contracts with FGM Architects and Camosy Construction earlier this year. The :•. has •- updated previously • staff site visits tit, neighboring communities to see examples of newly constructed police facilities. There have been weekly meetings with thit design/construction team and Village staff, including staff from each division of the Police Department. As the layout has become more concrete, more and more details have been discussed in our meetings. The mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineers have been brought into some of these meetings, along with Public Works staff, to be sure we are making the proper choices in the overall maintainability of the new building. The team spent an entire day meeting with each individual division going through details of how each space needs to function for them on a daily basis. While no colors were discussed, the group talked through what floors would be carpet, ceramic tile, vinyl tile, exposed concrete, or epoxy. Types of wall finishes such as painted drywall, wall covering, painted concrete block, and areas of wall protection were discussed. The group went through the anticipated ceiling types and possible heights for each space. Individual equipment like shredders, copiers, and safes were discussed not for particular model numbers and selections, but more for floor and counter space allocations. In addition, furniture and millwork was talked about in broad terms. No colors or brands were part of the topic, but it was more about kinds of materials and concepts. The actual •' design and furniture selection will take place in future • At this point the building's floor plan is close to finalized. All areas and relationships have been developed and thought • •' the staff and the design team, with the exception • the storage and mechanical areas. Those spaces will • and pull as necessary to accommodate mechanical systems and equipment throughout the rest of the design process. .While the Board will be provided detailed floor plans of the entire building -, Homeland Security concerns prohibit the release of the detailed plans to the public. Staff can share a floor plan that identifies departments with a list of the spaces within them, along with more detail for the non -protected areas like the public training room, lobby, garage, and locker rooms. The exterior of the building design has also been discussed. Together with the architects and construction manager, several ideas have been developed on exterior concepts. The overall design of the new front of the building along Kensington has not varied greatly from the early renderings provided to the Board and public. The concept of a central entry point with a larger heavy canopy/overhang are still the main focus of the front elevation. The use of brick and stonit •' the facade and the canopy remains in this concept. A number • samples have been presented to staff and thit design team to help narrow the field of options. Those options will be presented to the Board and public during thit September 11 Committee of the Whole meeting. As the sides and rear of the building have been studied alternative ideas have come to light. Staff and the design/construction team had originally thought the existing precast panels would all be wrapped in some kind of metal panel. As the team explored the options for metal panel systems, a vertical panel seemed to make the most sense because of the long and planar existing facades. A horizontal type of panel would be visually unappealing on such long facades. When looking at the vertical panel options and the cost implications of a metal panel system, the question arose if it was worth covering up the existing vertical ribs of the precast at all, or if we should just be looking at a high quality exterior paint system that would have a similar look to the vertical metal panel. In order to get a better idea of how the paint would look over the exposed aggregate precast panels, Camosy Construction had a painter provide a sample of the finish on the southeast corner of the existing building. The sample color chosen was a very dark gray, almost black, in an effort to minimize the impact of shadows from the current exposed aggregate surface. The The recommendation is to paint the existing precast - which, as an added bonus, is more cost effective. The building will need to be insulated from the inside as opposed to outside with the metal panel install; however, the savings of paint versus metal panel should be in the https://www.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login 10/11/2018 BoardDocs® Pro Page 2 of 2 $150,000-$200,000 range when all is factored in. This option is still providing a fresh, attractive exterior which coincides with the original vision. With the painting of the existing precast wall structure, the next step is determining what the other non -precast areas of the building will look like. The existing stucco system is not desirable to remain, as this building is planned to last for decades. Again, several concepts were presented by the architectural team with metal panel and brick infill in these areas. These areas also provide for opportunities of new windows without having to modify the existing structure. When looking at overall durability, maintenance, and cohesiveness of building materials, brick was selected as the infill for these areas. As previously noted, designers and staff agreed that a dark gray or black color paint would be best to minimize thc aggregate texture and shadows that would be created from the existing precast panel texture. Keeping in mind that this area constitutes nearly half the facade, two main brick colors were chosen from a palette of options to study in rendering format. Option 1 provides for a monolithic look that is consistent around the entire building, whether looking at the precast or the brick areas. There is uniformity between the infill brick and painted precast panels through the use of the color palette, while the variation in texture still provides visual interest. Option 2 provides for more variance in color between materials, with a red/deep purple brick with ironspots paired with a light colored stone canopy. When evaluated in a vacuum, both bricks are very attractive and offer deep colors. When matched to the preferred color of precast, the two options offer stark differences. The purple brick seems to introduce too many color tones into the exterior of the building and the result looks like a patchwork building. The black brick blends seamlessly with the precast color and looks like a cohesive design concept. The staff and design team are unanimous in the preference of a black/charcoal looking brick with white stone accents on the canopy and employee entrance, Option 1. Staff is looking for feedback on the overall design of the facade and the colors as presented to the Board. Alternatives 1. Discuss the overall design of the Police Headquarters building. 2. Action at discretion of Village Board. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends moving forward with the interior details and design as presented, and furthering the exterior design with the black brick and white stone concepts as noted in Option 1. The next meeting will be October 2 to seek Board authorization to move to construction drawings.
