Project Description
Sited on the southern peninsula of Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, the new NYPD Bomb Squad Headquarters Building will replace the unit’s existing facilities, heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy. R+L elevated the main programs of training, office & robot shop in a simple rectilinear volume raised beyond the required Design Flood Elevation (DFE) flood plain to create parking space underneath for Squad’s specialized truck fleet. The resulting apparatus floor is enclosed by cast concrete walls punctured by flood vents that allow for full inundation without damaging the building or its critical systems.
