Round Rock City Council on Thursday, Sept. 24 selected a construction company to build the voter-approved expansion of the City’s Public Safety Training Center, located at 2801 N. Mays Street. 

Council voted unanimously to approve a $15.1 million contract with Adolfson & Peterson Construction on the Public Safety Training Center Enhancement Phase 2 Project, which was approved in the 2023 bond election. The training center, which first opened in 2018 after it was approved by voters in the 2013 bond election, serves both the City’s fire and police departments and features classrooms, an indoor tactical firing range, defensive tactics area, scenario-training structures (including a 5-story burn tower), outdoor skills pads, and specialized props such as a fuel-spill site. 

The expansion project calls for additions to the main building, a new classroom building, new Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) track, a second skills pad, a pair of sheds to house fire and police training vehicles and equipment, and a backup generator large enough to provide emergency power for the main building. 

The 6,602 square-foot main building expansion will add over 6,000 square feet of meeting room space and additional room for fire training personnel. 

A new 4,700 square-foot classroom building will consist of two classrooms, with restrooms, storage and a kitchenette.  

An additional skills pad will provide a dedicated space for the fire department to conduct extrication exercises. 

The building’s original architect, Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects, handled the design of the expansion project.
