Public Safety and Answering Center (PSAC) II

OVERVIEW
Langan provided multidiscipline engineering services for the development of a new 911 call center for the City of New York. The development included construction of a 10-story office building with a building footprint totaling 52,000 SF, a 25-foot-deep cellar, and approximately 34,545 SF of surface parking.
