The Chula Vista Police Headquarters features a 4 story elliptical building that defines a public plaza and private courtyard space above a 2 story parking structure.  The plaza area features a large civic space for public events comprised of a series of paving bands that reinforce the building’s geometry.  Located at the edge of the plaza is a large memorial sculpture dedicated to the City’s public safety officers that have fallen in the line of duty.  The memorial features a long elliptical curve that rises from the plaza and curves back to face the building entry.  The memorial shape completes the elliptical form of the building and figuratively notions a continuous sense of duty and remembrance.
