Architecture

The present day New York Police Academy is consisted of five different facilities that are scattered into each primary borough of New York City. This project is intended to bring all five locations into one central facility. The administrative building features a very simplistic modern style look with its warehouse appearance and angular, projecting walls.

The design of the New York Police Academy was derived through the use of the NYC Construction Codes (2008), NYC Fire Code (2008), NYC Zoning Resolution, NYC Rules and Regulators, and the NYC Administrative Codes.

The zoning is a modified M2-1 in the Queens Borough which allows for medium manufacturing and most commercial uses, moderate manufacturing performance standards.

Historical Requirements: None present at this time.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Building Fundamentals
Exterior Walls
There are three different types of wall systems that make up the New York Police Academy. For starters, the entire wall system is of a curtain wall design which is a type of wall system that is not design to support any structural means. Two types of the walls are consisted of basic membranes to prevent the intrusion of moisture followed by windows where needed, and either a vertical metal panel or angular panel used for architectural appearance. The third type portrays the same membrane but is windowless and sport thin, precast concrete panels. (Section Veiw Coming Soon)
Roof
There are generally three different types of roof design that can be found on the New York Police Academy. Type one consists along the outer ledges where the substructure is cast in place concrete that is topped with a monolithic membrane, protection board, rigid insulation, and pedestals. Type two is similar to type one but consists of the concrete, vapor barrier, rigid insulation, exterior recover board and a five ply membrane. The final type is a green roof which is concrete substructure followed by a monolithic membrane, root barrier, protection board, rigid insulation, moisture retention mat, drainage panel, filter fabric, and finally vegetation and growing media. (Section Veiw Coming Soon)
Sustainable Design
The New York Police Academy is currently registered under the LEED-NC, Version 2.2 for a Silver Rating or higher due to compliance with New York Local Law 86/2005, Silver Rating or higher for all projects over $30 million. Under this law the project must also provide a twenty five percent reduction in energy cost and a thirty percent reduction in potable water.
