Anoka County Sheriff's Office    |    new construction

Designed as a sustainable facility, this 139,000-SF Sheriff's Office and Regional Forensic Lab is the first of its kind in Minnesota. It has the capacity to handle fingerprint analysis, drug testing, DNA analysis, and other forensic disciplines.

As a part of Minnesota’s Buildings, Benchmarks & Beyond (B3) Project for sustainability, the facility includes a number of “green” elements. During construction 75% of waste was diverted from landfills, and 50% of packaging material was reused or recycled. Low VOC emitting materials were used for finishes, and recycled materials in the form carpet, furniture and tile were incorporated. Large windows provide natural daylight in 50% of occupied areas, and a building automation system provides thermal comfort.
