During a strategic planning session in 2021, the city council of Chaska, MN identified six strategic visions for their future, one of which was, “In 2025, Chaska has quality facilities.”

CNH Architects is honored to be awarded as the architect for this high-priority public safety facility. The proposed project is to construct a new combined public safety facility on the current fire station site at 285 Engler Boulevard in Chaska. Currently, Police and Fire are located on separate campuses. The new project is greatly expanding to incorporate both departments at this location. Staffing needs have exceeded available space, and both facilities currently lack the necessary training spaces, parking, and security required.

The project will include a renovated and expanded fire station, new police station and squad garage, and new emergency operations center. The program objectives are to combine Police and Fire into a unified campus—one that has shared, but separate space-based needs for both Police and Fire, enhance security through secured parking and facility improvements, provide on-site training facilities, space to accommodate future increased staffing, and provide community space for public events and meetings.

The new facility will be built to accommodate current and future growth of this city.
