RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF STATION
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA
The Riverside County Sheriff Station in Lake Elsinore, California was completed in the spring of 2000, utilizing a Design/Build format. Coordinated and funded by the Economic Development Agency, the 26,710 square foot facility lies on a 2.61-acre site, which also accommodates 142 vehicle spaces. Exclusively used by Sheriff personnel, the building encloses administrative offices, investigations and special-teams open offices, briefing and report writing rooms, and a large evidence storage area.
The exterior is primarily of masonry, using a combination of color-coordinated units to respond to the character of the small town atmosphere. Addressing to the Owner's requirement for high-security construction in the evidence storage area, precision masonry units in an integral chocolate color are placed in a horizontal banding alignment, alternating with split-face red-brown textured units on the full-height masonry walls. Natural lighting is provided with the random placement of glass block within the split-face bands. Split-face red-brown veneer units anchor the base of the building under the recessed glazed areas. Complimentary building surfaces are of textured exterior plaster, standing seam metal roof and poured-in-place concrete.
