ANF Group Places First Precast Concrete Panel Wall For Broward Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Facility

ANF Group, Inc., a full-service construction firm providing construction management, general contracting, development, and design-build services to the South Florida market, has placed the first concrete panel wall of the new Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) Training Facility located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The BSO Training Center is an 88,000 square foot design-build project dedicated to training law enforcement officers from across Broward County. The main entry for staff and visitors into the training center includes a 2-story memorial lobby that honors the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School shooting.

Led by ANF’s design-build team of architects and engineers, the BSO Training Facility is a 7-story building consisting of a 5-story parking garage with 700+ parking spaces and a 2-story training space above.  The facility will be equipped with administrative offices, 250-seat auditorium, classrooms and training rooms, fire rescue simulation labs, a rappel tower, indoor firearm ranges, and all necessary support spaces to house the BSO Training Division’s administrative offices.

“This is the start of a new era for the Broward Sheriff’s Office. BSO was founded 107 years ago, and the agency has never had its own on-site training center. That will change with this innovative facility,” Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said. “This facility will provide the necessary level of training to address today’s public safety challenges.”

The BSO Regional Training Facility is expected to be completed in November of 2023. The project is designed to meet Class “A” Office Building standards. ANF Group is the general contractor, and Saltz Michelson Architects is the architect with RDG Planning & Design.
