City of Oakland Emergency Operations Center
Oakland, CA

Picture
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Oakland Emergency Operations Center designed by Michael Willis Architects and The Colyer/ Freeman Group, cost $4.9 million and took over 6 years of planning and construction to complete.

The EOC, located near the city's government buildings downtown, serves as a disaster management site as well as a year-round fire and medical dispatch center and a regional training center. The building was designed to withstand a "maximum credible event" while providing a setting for key officials to interact during a crisis and make strategic and coordinated decisions. Totaling 32,500 SF, the facility consisted of a two-tiered situation room equipped with computers, teleconferencing equipment and satellite capabilities. It also included sleeping quarters, conference areas and a special media room with access to cable, satellite, antenna and wireless modems.

ACSI's RESPONSIBILITIES:
ACSI worked with RossDrulisCusenbery (RDC) to provide initial planning for this center, collectively provided space and electronic systems planning. The final documentation provided by RDC and ACSI formed the basis for the designs developed by the Colyer/Freeman Group several years later.
