Department Facilities take Top Honors at 2010 Los Angeles Architectural Awards

June 29, 2025 – The awards kept rolling in as three LAPD Community Police Stations and the new Police Administration Building were recognized for outstanding design and architecture by the Los Angeles Business Council at the 40th Annual Los Angeles Architectural Awards held at the new JW Marriott located at L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles.

Olympic Area Community Police Station, Harbor Replacement Station and Jail, and the Hollenbeck Area Community Police Station took home the “Green Building Award” which was given to each for combining cutting-edge design with advanced green features to illustrate how municipal structures can both be beautiful and serve as a model for environmentally sustainable development. Members of the Department as well as representatives from the architect and contracting firms accepted the award in front of many of their peers in attendance.

The overall winner of the “Grand Prize” project was the new Police Administration Building which was completed late last year.

Other winning structures included the Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences and JW Marriott at L.A. Live, the California Science Center: Phase II – Ecosystems and the Los Angeles Trade Technical College, South Campus Project to name a few. An Honorable Mention was given to the Los Angeles Police Department Memorial to Fallen Officers as well.

All winning projects, with the exception of the “Best of LA Architects,” were located within Los Angeles County and projects must have been completed within the past 2 calendar years.  From the hundreds of submissions received, the jury selected 31 winning projects in 20 overall categories.
