PROJECT OVERVIEW
This Phoenix suburb had a population of under 2,000 in 1970 and is now the home to over 300,000 residents. With growth came a need for larger, well-trained police and fire departments. This 54-acre, $66M fire, police, and EMS training center was created to facilitate the training for the rapidly growing departments.
