Western Specialty Contractors combined time-tested and modern, innovative techniques to restore the facade and parking garage of a structure in Downtown Clayton, Missouri into the state-of-the-art, LEED Platinum Certified Clayton Police Headquarters and Municipal Facility. The overall goal of the restoration project was to preserve the building's historic character, a 1950's replica of the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia, while incorporating modern, sustainable technology and design.
The project earned 80 out of a possible 110 points to qualify it for LEED Platinum Certification through the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), making it one of only eight municipally-owned facilities in Missouri to have been certified at any level by USGBC's LEED system. Additionally, the structure is the first Platinum Certified law enforcement facility in Missouri and one of only two publicly-owned, Platinum Certified facilities in Missouri.
