Atkins has provided architecture-related services for the following Turnpike service plazas:
• Turkey Lake District Headquarters Building, Operations Building, Maintenance Building, Law
Enforcement Building, and Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) Office, Ocoee, FL. Atkins served as the owner’s
representative responsible for architectural programming, concept planning, funding and appropriations
coordination, preparing design criteria, technical support for selection of the design/build firm, contract
administration, bidding and selection, and construction oversight. We were also responsible for the interior design
package, as well as developing procurement specifications for the entire facility, which comprised offices, lounges,
conference rooms and auditoriums, training rooms, gun vaults, and secure facilities. Total: 150,000 sf.
• West Palm Beach Law Enforcement Buildings, Dispatch Center, and Support Facilities for the FHP and
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) FHP -- Troop L, West Palm Beach, FL. Atkins

• Pompano Operations Center, Broward County, FL. This project included the conversion of an abandoned
service station at the Pompano Plaza to the site for a Florida’s Turnpike Operations Center. Extensive site
remediation (consisting of contaminated soil removal and asbestos removal) was required at the service station.
The proposed Pompano Operations Center was designed as a two-story building, with associated sitework
consisting of parking area and on/off plaza ramps. Separate estimates and construction schedules were prepared
for the site remediation, the building, and the sitework. The work was divided into three separate contracts. The
remediation cost estimates were prepared by coordination with the environmental engineering team, the testing
laboratories, and potential contractors. Total: 38,000 sf.
• Boca Raton Data (NERVE) Center Office Building, Boca Raton, FL. This project consisted of interior design
work, programming, furniture specifications, open plan system, and space planning for an 18,500-sf office
