THE CHALLENGE www.advancepeace.org
In urban communities where gun violence
is prevalent, there is a gap between "anti-
violence" programming and those most
affected by gun violence: victims, perpetrators,
and potential perpetrators. As a result, gun
violence rates persist at unacceptable levels.
Advance Peace effectively bridges this gap
and breaks the cycle of firearm-driven hostilities
by altering the trajectory of the lives of those at
the center of the crisis.
PEACEMAKER FELLOWSHIP www.advancepeace.org
Advance Peace provides the high-
touch and personalized 18 to 24 -
month Peacemaker Fellowship®.
This fellowship is grounded in
evidence-based practice
and includes the provision of seven
intensive touch-points.
This Fellowship is voluntary and
our success depends heavily on the
trust we must build with those at the
center of gun violence.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN UPDATE
BACKGROUND
• April 11, 2023, the Vallejo City
Council provided direction to staff
to initiate the design of a new
police facility at Amador
• As interim improvement, a priority
was also established to
temporarily relocate the
Emergency Dispatch Center (EDC)
• Design was separated into multiple
phases
• Phase A - 35%
• Phase B - 65%, up to 95%
• Phase C - Final bid documents
and construction management
DESIGN CONCEPT
BUILDING A BRIDGE BETWEEN
COMMUNITY AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT
• The architectural design for the
new Community Safety Center
transcends bricks and mortar,
aiming to become a symbol of
unity, transparency, and
accessibility within the Vallejo
community
WELCOMING HUB FOR ALL
• The journey begins a public
plaza integrated seamlessly
into the building's design
• Shady benches, a multi-level
fountain, and landscaped
greenery, inviting
community interaction
• Brick and concrete help
relate this project to
Vallejo’s other public
buildings, ensuring civic
identity
WELCOMING HUB FOR ALL
• Terraced landings from
the park lead directly to
a Community
Engagement room,
establishing a clear
connection between
community and law
enforcement.
• Both the public plaza
and the visitor parking
lot are designed for
community pop-up
events
UNITY AND TRANSPARENCY
TAKE CENTER STAGE
• Visitors are greeted by the
"Unity" entry canopy, a
sculptural form symbolizing
community oneness
• Main public access floor,
located a half-level up,
provides unobstructed
views into the interior court
• This design enhances
accessibility and creates a
welcoming atmosphere
ARTICULATING FORM,
FOSTERING CONNECTION
• Perimeter features strategic
insets and projections,
reducing its visual mass and
making it feel more
approachable
• Rounded corners further
soften the structure, echoing
the spirit of unity
• Generous window projections
provide shade, contributing to
energy efficiency
FOUNDATION BUILT ON
TRUST AND SECURITY
• Brick, chosen for its stability
and permanence, forms the
building's core, conveying a
sense of trust and resilience
• Aesthetic remains softer than
traditional civic buildings,
reflecting a modern
approach to law enforcement
• Safety and security
integrated into the design
DESIGN CONCEPT
MORE THAN BRICKS AND
MORTAR
• Community Spaces
• Community Events
• Accessibility
• Landscape Integration
• Resilient Design
• Sustainability
• Artistic Expression
• Futuristic Vision
CONSTRUCTION
PHASING
PHASE 1: LAYING THE
FOUNDATION
• Existing structures on
the site will be
repurposed, including
a 19,400 sq. ft. Police
Services Building and
a 1,700 sq. ft. K-9
Canopy Building.
• This approach reduces
carbon footprint and
construction costs by
50% compared to
building new.
One construction contract consisting of two
phases ensures continuity of police services
CONSTRUCTION PHASING
PHASE 1: LAYING
THE FOUNDATION
• A new 3-story, 67,925 sq. ft. Community Safety Center will be constructed.
• Designed to California Essential Services Building
standards, it will house critical services like 911 Dispatch, an Emergency Operations Center (doubling as a
Community Meeting Room), and dedicated Community
Engagement space.
CONSTRUCTION PHASING
PHASE 1: LAYING
THE FOUNDATION
• This initial phase also provides 146 parking spaces.
• A Public Plaza will be built, along with utilities, paving, and landscaping across 3.1 acres of the site.
• The Public Plaza provides the community with new
opportunities for social interaction and special events, pop-ups, art fairs, etc..
CONSTRUCTION
PHASING
PHASE 2: COMPLETION AND
EXPANSION
• Once the Community Safety
Center is operational,
outdated structure will be
demolished, creating space
for secure parking, solar
carports, and additional
landscaping
• At completion, the
Community Safety Center
will encompass 89,025 sq. ft.
with a total of 261 parking
spaces
COMMITMENT
SUSTAINABILITY
• Prioritizes
sustainability, climate-
conscious features:
high-efficiency HVAC
equipment, and south-
facing rooftop
photovoltaics
• 86% zero-net-energy
(ZNE); potential for
Leadership in Energy
