FBI Field Office

Creating an appealing, monumental public presence while maintaining security

Bowen’s design integrates the building into the fabric of the surrounding community with an inviting curved granite wall and rotunda entry expressing the FBI’s purpose and identity, while being accessible to the public as well as creating an internal design that results in efficient, effective state-of-the-art workplace. The design creates a focus at a critical intersection of the Park South area of Springfield, connecting two areas of office buildings with an attractive, distinctive design.

Placement of the garage under the building keeps, it secure, and covered, also allowing the building to enjoy a dignified, monumental presence on the site since the garage remains virtually invisible. The visitor parking is place prominently, yet separately away from the secured parking lot in front of the primary entrance in a dual configuration around the landscape.
