The City of Miami Police College is a 115,987 sq ft space that uniquely combines a police training academy with a magnet high school focused on law, homeland security, and forensic science. Located on a 1.6-acre downtown site, the facility connects to the existing police headquarters while maintaining a distinct entrance for its own identity.

Wells created a solution that defined both the visual and structural character of the space. Buff-colored, sandblasted four-story panels mark the police entrance with incised signage and a cast-metal badge, while a parallel high-school wall reinforces the school’s identity. Richly textured black panels on the auditorium facade create a dynamic visual centerpiece, integrating new construction with the surrounding urban environment.
