Situated on the corner of Route 6 and Shank Painter Road in Provincetown Massachusetts the new Police Station sits prominently on a small section of greenery creating a new gateway into the town. The clean and timeless geometry of the Cape Cod architecture with a centralized gabled roof, cedar shingles, and board and batten façade ties in well with the fabric of the Town. The Post and Board façade as well as the Galvanized Steel Piling facades complement the marine structures found throughout this seaside community. The abundance of natural light is created with the use of large modern windows and glass-framed gable ends to enhance the office environment within the associated workspaces. The glass-filled gable ends with double-height spaces are shaded by cedar wood battens to provide both shading and security from the site below. These gable ends incorporate LED color-changing lights that provide a community symbol for activities in town such as pride week and breast cancer awareness through an expression of light.

The site is connected to walking and biking pathways and is adjacent to public parking and a pickleball court. On the north side of the route are pristine dunes within the National Seashore property, inspiring the creation of a dune landscape with native plantings on the police station site, featuring a mix of soft and hard landscaping elements. The facility is fully ADA-accessible, including all spaces such as the detention area. The lobby space, designed with an open and transparent layout, contains all publicly accessible offices and features rich cherry accents that recall the inside of a ship, seamlessly integrated with ballistic-resistant materials.

Elevated above the floodplain, the wood-frame structure is designed for resilience against natural changes and can withstand wind speeds of up to 148 miles per hour. As an emergency facility, it remains operational 24/7 during critical events and supports first responders with an emergency operations command center. The Station is backed by a generator that powers the entire building. The facility includes a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, shower and restroom facilities to accommodate extended durations of use. The large storage space on the second floor can serve as temporary sleeping quarters when needed.

The building and site layout allow officers to enter and exit directly to the patrol car-secured lot directly from their locker rooms. The large roll call space is a multiple use space for meetings, training, and emergency operations. The technology within the facility supports a secure office environment, report writing areas, and dispatch room functions connected town-wide.
