Leopardo | Glen Ellyn Police Department

30,000-SF, two-story police headquarters on a four-acre site
For more than 40 years, the Glen Ellyn Police Department occupied the ground floor of a former junior high school in the village downtown. Undersized and too outdated to fit the needs of this thriving community, the village turned to Leopardo to design-build a much-needed new police station
Secured detention facilities and an enclosed sally port, as well as evidence processing with separate secured processing room storage and vehicle exam, officer locker rooms with bathroom and showers, emergency operating center, patrol investigations and administration spaces, large community room, public restrooms and a fitness area
Features View Dynamic Glass, electrochromic windows that tint to maximize natural light automatically, in the lobby and community room
Site work includes mass grading, utility work, bioswales, native planting and hardscaping
Work was completed two months ahead of schedule
