DLR Group|RDC worked with the City of Palo Alto over several years to plan, locate, and design the new City of Palo Alto Public Safety Building. To compensate for the parking lot now occupied by the PSB, the project includes the design and construction of the new stand-alone 636-stall California Avenue Parking Garage. Planter beds and built-in benches flank the street-side lobby. Accessible covered bike parking provides a pleasant spot for commuters to lock up their bikes.
Palo Alto’s new Public Safety Building is an ambitious infill project that seamlessly fits a narrow site in a mixed-use district. The new essential services facility responds to its vibrant neighborhood context while maintaining security and operational rigor.
