Amherst, MA – CTA Construction Co. Inc., a Waltham-based general contractor, has finished work on the new $12.5 million police station at the University of Massachusetts. The two-story, brick-faced structure is designed to operate around-the-clock and serve a public safety as well as educational role on the university campus.
“CTA understood the need to create a secure structure that was nonetheless welcoming to the entire campus community,” said Jeff Hazelwood, project executive of CTA.
The 27,130sf, two-story complex is home to the UMass-Amherst Police Department. It provides space for multiple police functions including patrol, investigation and emergency response. The facility will also house crime prevention and educational services at the Amherst campus.
As designed, the finished building is inviting and approachable, while maintaining the security required of a police station.
The building also meets the highest levels of energy efficiency and sustainability standards, which according to UMass, is the first campus building to do so. The project was built to meet the standards of the LEED Gold level.
