• Institutional Building Types
• Institutional Buildings are civic buildings that can be publicly or privately funded.
• Government Institutional Buildings include City Halls; Court Houses; Judicial Centers;
Police Headquarters; Detention Facilities; Military Bases; Transportation Terminals (airports,
railway stations, and bus stations); and Educational Facilities.
• Private Institutional Buildings include Museums; Art Galleries; Cultural Centers; and
Scientific Campuses.
• Institutional Buildings are often grand in design and subject to a lot of public scrutiny and
input during their design process. These buildings often have public accessible spaces and
private staff spaces. Often an equal amount of space is devoted to each of these users,
though the design and materials used may differ quite dramatically. Court houses, police
facilities, and detention facilities have a third component, which involves the housing and
movement of people held in custody. The use of sally ports, secure corridors, holding areas,
and detention rooms, all play a part in the design. Life safety is a special consideration in
these types of facilities since egress must be carefully orchestrated in the event of a fire or
other emergency. ArchSol Design has the expertise to work with institutions of all kinds, and
to ensure that the design deals with all these interrelated components.
