Box Elder Public Safety

Big-D served as design-builder on this consolidated public safety facility, partnering with Galloway Co. to bring together the Highway Patrol, DPS Emergency Communications, and Driver License Divisions under one roof. The single-story, steel framed masonry building accommodates separate working areas for each agency along with shared space for fitness, breaks, and training. The project required close coordination across multiple stakeholders and careful attention to specialized systems. Detention areas for Highway Patrol demanded enhanced security features, while the building’s role as an emergency dispatch hub called for advanced communications infrastructure. Installation of the radio tower was particularly complex, requiring meticulous planning to meet specific RF (radio frequency) pathways and L3 Harris grounding standards. Big-D’s scope extended beyond the building itself to include all site development, including the Driver License test course.
