More than 1,500 Victorian Police officers moved into a new 29000 sqm premises at 313 Spencer St, Docklands, Melbourne early May 2015. The new premises serve as a local police station with police cells, as well as headquarters for specialist officers and detectives. It was designed, constructed and fitted out to support modern day policing and to consolidate a number of CBD Police Locations into one new building.
The brief for the design was to meet the needs and objectives of the modern day Police force, with the emphasis on adaptability, strength and durability.
As the building houses various Police Commands including Operational, and Non Operational staff they all have different needs and requirements. Hence the important requirements that products were long lasting, hard wearing, resilient, robust, and where possible could support future upgrades.
