Renovation of a mixed-use development in Burnsville, Minnesota. Design plans call for the renovation of a 209,826-square-foot fire / police facility; and municipal facility.

As part of Access Burnsville, the city is planning the City Hall/Police Station remodel, renovation and expansion. Access Burnsville will more than double the physical space available for police, city staff and the community. The City Hall-police project is tentatively planned to begin construction in May 2025 and completed in January 2028. Project bidding expected December 2024-January 2025 Invest in existing site and facility: upgrade existing HVAC, lighting, technology, and security infrastructure to address deficiencies, improve efficiency, and coordinate with new work; provide a two-story expansion on the northeast side (internally referred to as the north side) to facilitate location of all public service departments at the main level, and to accommodate Police Department expansion into the lower level of City Hall. Explore relocation of the council chambers to support a more direct and welcoming public entry and service desk arrangement, with expanded public meeting rooms, while also providing the council chambers with natural lighting, council egress for safety, and dedicated and adaptable control and broadcast rooms. The proposed expansion utilizes the most efficient location; should addition future growth be required, there is the potential for more modest scale expansions to the northwest and southeast, though these would not accommodate significant program growth. Invest in existing site and facility, maximizing utilization and capacity to respond to program projections: upgrade existing HVAC, lighting, technology, and security infrastructure to address deficiencies, improve efficiency, and coordinate with new work; expand the vehicle garage and adjust the site parking in response; provide interior reconfiguration and adaptation of the existing main level to consolidate key program elements into contiguous spaces for each use; leverage space at City Hall’s lower level for dedicated training facilities; expand the lower level gun range and utilize the same footprint at the upper level for administrative expansion. This facility is landlocked: i.e. constrained by site features, so proposed investments will approximate 20-year space need projections while utilizing the remainder of the site, with no further capacity for growth or expansion.
