CPS worked with Architects Design Group on this space needs study for the City of Billings’ 911 and Emergency Management Office. The city’s 911 was located on the back end of and existing facility with no capability for expansion. They were in a residential neighborhood with no security for vehicles or staff. These issues prompted the city to retain us with the goal of consolidating the spaces into one facility and relocating to a more secure environment. CPS examined several sites in and around the downtown core and made recommendations as to the prime location.
