City of Houston / Greater Harris County 911 Emergency Center
The City of Houston / Greater Harris County 911 Emergency Center project was the design, construction and financing of a 128,000 square foot facility to house the City’s combined public safety communications operations.
The facility is a two-story, single use facility located on an approximate 10-acre site in near north Houston. The structure, which is cast-in-place with masonry exterior, is specifically designed to meet the structural and windload requirements to withstand winds up to 150 mph.
