Rockville Police Station

Rockville, Maryland

Project Size: 26,000 square feet
Value Classification: $5m-$10m
Owner: City of Rockville
Architect: Wheeler Goodman Masek Architects

Project Description:
The Rockville Police Station, designed by Wheeler Goodman Masek Architects, will include the renovation/historic restoration of the existing, former United States Post Office building and the construction of a new 14,500 square foot, three-story “Annex” building on the same site. As a significant historic structure, the facade of the existing building will be meticulously restored and the interior of the Post Office will be completely renovated, including a full restoration of the historic lobby and vestibule. The architecture of the new Annex compliments the existing Post Office building in scale and theme, while contemporary materials clearly differentiate it from the historic building. The project, which will house the City of Rockville’s growing police force, is scheduled for completion in March 2012.
Structural details of the Annex include a cast-in-place (CIP) concrete foundation, CMU load bearing walls and precast structural concrete planks. Concrete underpinning, expansion and enlargement to the existing basement and new structural steel and poured concrete decks will all occur in the existing Post Office.

Architecturally, the Annex will contain a vegetative green roof system, skylights, blast and bullet resistant curtainwall, storefront glass and masonry and cast stone veneer. Both the Annex and the existing Post Office will include hydraulic elevators and exterior zinc metal panels. Extensive restoration to the existing masonry, marble, terrazzo, doors and exterior windows will occur in the existing building as well.

Costello Construction will self perform site work, excavation, underground utilities, concrete, below grade waterproofing and the green roof installation
