Brockton Public Safety Complex | Brockton, Massachusetts
The City of Brockton is set to bring its long-awaited dream to life with the construction of a new, stateof-the-art combined public safety complex. This sleek and technology-driven building will replace the city’s outdated police station and historic fire station, serving as a beacon of safety and security for the community.
At an expansive 149,275 SF and spanning four stories, the public safety complex will house the operations of both the Brockton Police Department and the Brockton Fire Department. It will also feature a joint emergency dispatch center, administrative and support offices for the Brockton Emergency Management Agency, and offices and an equipment room for the Brockton Information Technology Center. To accommodate the needs of the police department, the complex will include a parking garage that can hold up to 300 vehicles. Public lobby space will be available on each floor, providing easy access to services and information for the community.
Construction began in March 2023 following the demolition of the old building located on the corner of West Elm Street and Warren Avenue, which had served as different institutions over the years, including the Old Brockton High School, Eldon B. Keith School, Frederick Douglass Academy, and Champion School. The new facility will repurpose some of the building’s pillars and other infrastructure elements, adding a sense of history to the modern structure.
As the OPM for the City of Brockton, CHA has been intimately involved in every aspect of this project, including designer selection, space needs assessment, program development, site evaluation, and cost estimates. With an estimated cost of $108 million and an ambitious construction timeline, this multi-phase project is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
Lemuel Shattuck Hospital | Boston, Massachusetts
Construction is underway for the $382 million initiative to relocate Lemuel Shattuck Hospital’s medical and psychiatric services to East Newton Pavilion in Boston. As OPM for the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, CHA is overseeing extensive renovations to all nine floors of the 405,000 SF building to accommodate almost 700 staff members who will provide clinical laboratory, outpatient specialty, and surgical services. This project is on track for completion by 2025.
Lemuel Shattuck Hospital is a 260-bed facility providing medical and psychiatric treatment to a diverse patient population. Since it was built in 1954, the hospital required extensive renovations to maintain its current level of high-quality, costeffective care. Relocating to East Newton Pavilion will enable the Commonwealth to offer uninterrupted care to patients in an improved environment while significantly reducing costs compared to renovating the existing hospital or building a new facility.
East Newton Pavilion requires only limited renovation to accommodate Shattuck’s inpatient and outpatient services. The site presents a unique opportunity for potential collaboration with Boston Medical Center, Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, neighboring academic institutions, and Tufts. The non-profit provider programs at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital will not relocate to the East Newton Pavilion.
