This 80,000-SF tactical training facility is an all-inclusive public safety training center to support special response teams, correctional officer, emergency response training and fire rescue high liability training. The facility provides opportunities for real-life scenario role play to enhance officer skills in emergency/crisis mitigation techniques. It includes a Vitra/Blue Fire training lab, tactical lab, dispatch training lab, 12-lane firearms training range, mock-courtroom and mock-intake and physical training room spaces.
To facilitate Miami Dade College’s growing law enforcement and criminal justice educational programs, the School of Justice Building re-purposes and expands an existing World War II military hanger that was later remodeled in the 1970’s to serve as the campus gymnasium and health center.

The new exterior facade design purposefully addresses Miami Dade College’s request for a dynamic architectural image on the highly visible north face of their campus.
