Roth Marz Partnership designed the Erie Public Safety Building complex to house equipment, emergency vehicles and specially trained emergency staff in one central location. The Public Safety Complex was structured to address the communication needs of routine daily emergency reporting and responding to promote interaction and cooperation between emergency departments with a clear chain of command, and to provide a centralized location for coordination of these agencies during a national emergency. It provides a central and secure location to house staff from emergency agencies on a 24 hour basis, 365 days a year.
