OMAHA, NE — The City of Omaha has selected LEO A DALY, along with partners McClaren, Wilson and Lawrie, Inc. (MWL) and Lamp Rynearson, for both Phase 1 of planning and Phase 2 of designing a new headquarters for Omaha Police and Fire Departments, which may include a fire station and police precinct.

Since the 1970s, OPD and OFD headquarters have served their community along downtown’s 15th Street, but now there is a need to prepare for growth with a freshly designed space. The new headquarters will look to the future with sustainable recommendations and feature an approachable, functional, and secure design that will serve the community for decades.

Currently, the project is in the early stages of Phase 1. The LEO A DALY team will work collaboratively with the City of Omaha and key stakeholders from the Police and Fire Departments to complete Phase 1 and determine size requirements, site recommendations, cost assumptions, and site due diligence, along with concept and schematic design. Phase 2 will include design development through construction administration services. Bond approval will be required to carry the project through completion of Phase 2.
