Midtown Hills Police Precinct

The Challenge

A new facility was needed for Metro Nashville Police Department’s Midtown Hills precinct. TMP’s expertise in public safety facilities allowed us to provide the client and community with a space that better fit their needs.

  • Client

    Metropolitan Government of Nashville/Davidson County

  • Location

    Nashville, Tennessee

  • Size

    21,720 square feet

  • Distinguishing Features

    • Open, inviting terraces on several sides of the building
    • Drought-resistant landscaping. water-saving fixtures, and recycled building materials
  • Awards

    • LEED Gold

The Design Solution

Located between the Gulch and 12 South neighborhoods in Nashville, the design of the precinct was influenced by these two distinct areas, incorporating urban, visual elements.

The one-story structure includes patrol, shift and detective offices, exercise and locker rooms, and a community room for public meetings or events. The low end of the site includes an informal community amphitheater, which helps to balance the surrounding urban hardscape.

The layout allows for ample natural light and several sustainability features were incorporated, earning the building LEED Gold certification.
