BKV Group and our local architecture partner, Hobbs+Black, were selected after a national search to lead the City of Lansing through the design process for a new Public Safety Building, three Fire Stations, and a Fire Training Facility. With total project budget being $175M, the Center began with helping the City through the bond referendum process and quickly moved on to space needs programming and conceptual planning.
