Lehigh Police Station design incorporates historic architectural styles and modern elements

Lehi City is embarking on an ambitious Civic Campus Master Plan that aims to blend historical architectural styles with modern functionality. During a recent government meeting, city planners showcased their vision for the new police station, emphasizing a design that reflects the evolution of Lehi’s architectural landscape.

The presentation highlighted the importance of integrating various building styles that have emerged over time, creating a cohesive streetscape that honors the city’s history. “We looked at three distinct periods of architectural history,” one planner noted, explaining how these influences will shape the new police station and surrounding structures.

A focal point of the design is the Broadbent Building, which previously occupied the site of the new police station. The planners aim to incorporate elements from this historic structure into the modern design, ensuring that the new facility resonates with the character of Lehi. Renderings presented during the meeting illustrated a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, showcasing a monumentally elevated entry that invites community engagement.

The plan also considers the evolution of city blocks, where buildings are developed over generations, reflecting the growth and changes within the community. This approach not only preserves the city’s heritage but also accommodates future needs, ensuring that Lehi remains a vibrant and functional space for its residents.

As the Civic Campus Master Plan moves forward, city officials are optimistic about the positive impact it will have on Lehi’s identity and community cohesion. The next steps will involve further community input and refinement of the designs, paving the way for a modern civic center that honors the past while looking to the future.
