The project is an urban facility with pedestrian presence, which is a match with the San Diego Police Department’s community policing program. The Police Substation was sited and programmed to have a strong visual presence on the City Heights Urban Village, with large windows, “eyes on the street,” looking out from the detective spaces onto the open spaces and public facilities. In addition to the full service SDPD substation, the facility includes community meeting space, vehicle maintenance facilities and a community gymnasium.
