Sauk Prairie Police Station

The Sauk Prairie Police Station, located at the corner of Prairie Street and 13th Street, features new offices, community and conference rooms, exercise and wellness rooms, evidence processing rooms, a drive-through sally port/wash bay and a large connecting garage with parking and storage spaces. Given the continuing growth of the Sauk City and Prairie du Sac community, the need for a new police station was long overdue. Using a butterfly-style roof and modern clerestory windows, the police station brings in natural daylighting and ventilation while the decorative stone and brick masonry are designed to store solar heat during the hotter days and will be used as a heat bank during cooler parts of the day. Providing an energy efficient touch, photovoltaic solar panels cover the garage roof and will create an abundance of electricity for this building. Staying on schedule for this unique project was important and supply chain issues were overcome using multiple vendors. BIM provided significant benefits, including a better understanding of the project for the client and maximizing project quality.
