The Goldstein Partnership's police
and court facilities have set the standard to which others aspire. Integrating
the programmatic complexities of these specialized facilities with the
numerous regulations and codes governing their construction, we have
consistently produced distinguished public safety buildings characterized
by simplicity, clarity, and functionality. We never lose sight of the
fact that justice buildings are - first and foremost - public
buildings, and that we therefore have a responsibility to make them
welcoming, safe, and secure for the public.

“As
a law enforcement executive, I was particularly impressed with
Eli Goldstein’s knowledge of specific law enforcement
needs. This was one unique trait that set The Goldstein Partnership
apart...” |

N. Batelli, Chief of Police, Mahwah Twp. |

Police buildings have a unique combination of
requirements. They typically contain a mix of uses, including offices,
places of assembly, and detention facilities. They must accommodate
a mix of users, including the public, uniformed personnel, civilian
employees, and detainees. Their departments operate on a variety of
schedules, with key functions operating round the clock. They are repositories
of important records, and, as such, are critical to the integrity of
the chain of custody for property and evidence. They house weapons and
ammunition. Their must meet extremely stringent structural, mechanical,
and electrical standards. And finally, their radio, security, and telecommunications
systems must be reliable and secure.
The organization of each of our
police buildings is based on the organization of the police department
it is intended to serve. Planning for the circulation of various user
groups and for the interfaces between them is a fundamental part of
our design process. Our thorough coordination of the many engineering
disciplines helps assure the success of each completed building. Our
thoughtful selection of materials and systems enables easy and economical
operation, maintenance, and servicing over the life of the building.
And, our foresight in the deployment of relatively fixed elements, such
as columns, bearing walls, and chases, helps the building accommodate
long-term change.

“Mr.
Goldstein demonstrated great skill in translating our needs
into functional designs...” |

Cimino, Chief of Police, Maplewood Township |

The Goldstein Partnership brings
a similar approach and commitment to the design of court facilities.
Our designs typically exceed the regulatory requirements of the Administrative
Office of the Courts and accessibility requirements of the Americans
with Disabilities Act. The dignity of our courtrooms is matched by
their functionality: Audiovisual, telecommunications, access control,
acoustics, and emergency response provisions are integrated seamlessly
into each design. |
