Institute of Public Safety at the Kirkpatrick Center Expansion

This project consisted of an addition to the existing building to house classrooms, labs, and scenario‐based training facilities for law enforcement and emergency medical services programs. Special features include a fully-operational replica of a small town “Main Street” to be used for scenario-based training exercises. This unique area features multi-purpose storefronts with a restaurant, sports bar, café, fitness center, emergency room entrance, and a fully furnished two-story townhouse, to prepare public safety professionals for response to real-world emergencies and challenging situations.

The expansion also incorporates advanced laser-based firearms training simulation laboratories for independent or contiguous “room-to-room” scenarios.
