New Construction of the Ennepe-Ruhr District Police Department Headquarters in Gevelsberg

As part of the Europe-wide “New leasing of a central building of the district police authority of the Ennepe-Ruhr district in the city triangle of Ennepetal, Gevelsberg, and Schwelm” negotiation process, RDS Partner was tasked as one of the four best-positioned to work on a preliminary draft. The approved space allocation program with a program area of 5,709 sq. m includes, among others, the police station with detention center, the control center, office space for various departments, and other police-specific rooms.
To accommodate the space requirements as well as the resulting adjoining rooms, a meandering structure is created that surrounds two atriums. In the middle between these two atriums is the central main entrance with a two-story foyer directly adjoining it, as well as the side entrance adjoining the foyer to the south, which can also be used for deliveries.
The new central building has three completely above-ground floors and, due to the topographical location, two underground floors for an underground garage.
In addition to the new construction of the central building of Ennepe-Ruhr District Police Department Headquarters, garages and carports are being built to ensure the required parking spaces for the service vehicles.
The new building of the District Police Department blends in perfectly with its surroundings and the hillside location. Its design and the materials used give it a confident and solid appearance. The stand-alone building opens up to the city via a wide entrance situation with a forecourt in front. The permanent and maintenance-free bright clinker brick facade with the blue signets featuring the corporate design of the police convey a contemporary and citizen-friendly image.
