V. Police Facility Design Presentation:
Project Manager, Mr. Kechter introduces the project and shows architectural renderings. The art will be located at
the North-East entrance. Andy Dufford introduces his work; shows past work; how he has used stone and
worked with different subjects in relation to a site. At the Police Facility, the art is located in the public areas of
the site. Mr. Dufford proposed to locate the art components in the memorial garden, on the columns up to the
main doors and within the main lobby. He discusses the facility's ability to perform outreach, which also des into
the focus of his artwork. He mentions the architectural collage of windows as an aesthetic inspiration for the
work; discusses his vision of a community -connection relationship, education/respect and remembrance. He seek:
to create a positive tone through the beauty of the architecture and art; which will also support all program
elements inherent to the facility. Artwork located in the memorial garden: the design is integrated in to the flow of
architecture where there is a series of columns under a canopy; a series of relief carvings will be placed here. The
themes to be used for the relief carvings: People, Science, Justice, and Community. Inside the entrance: Mr.
Dufford evokes a museum experience; the lobby is the museum; he proposes a large image of officers over the
years in one glass etched panel; this leads to another collage of image panels and video displays; images created by
various means, from sandblasting to photo transfer. An interior fountain is used to help integrate the exterior with
the interior space —helps establish a rhythm of continual space. A model of the site is shown: there will be seating
inside the lobby and around the exterior columns; stone fountains will punctuate the exterior space, along with
trees. Seats placed along the community room exterior wall will incorporate greenery. Exterior fountains are
spherically shaped and quartered. Interior fountain: water will have a laminar flow or in grooves along the side of
the fountain itself. The fountain coping will be inscribed will names of those who lost their life in the line of duty.
Mr. Dufford created a full-scale mock-up of the space at a park in Denver to get a sense of proportions for this
project.
A packet is handed out on the project: the budget does not cover all the museum elements, but the project
team/Police Department will support artwork beyond the APP budget. Some of these elements will be leveraged
within the construction budget. The artist points out where some issues on materials will be determined at a later
date. He shares samples of the stone he will use. Everything will be graffiti coated. Mr. Howe commends the
team.
Mr. Russell motions to accept the proposal
Ms. Liska- Smith seconds the motion
