Buxton Kubik Dodd Creative would like to thank the City of Springfield, Missouri for their trust in us as their Architect of Record for the new Springfield Regional Police & Fire Training Center. The building provides a modern training center and multi-purpose space for the City of Springfield's Police and Fire departments and is accessible to all public safety departments around the region. The project is funded by city-issued bonds, paid by 2004 level property taxes.
The training center includes six multipurpose classrooms and a computer lab equipped with the latest technology, outdoor classroom areas, weight room, locker rooms, a joint training center, and a two-story situational training room with an elevated catwalk for instructor observation. The entire building, including the roof and exterior walls serve as functional elements for public safety training utilizing rappelling platforms and roof hatch entry training.
