Public Safety
Fire
This specialized category includes all building types (Fire Stations, Administrative Buildings,
Training Centers, etc.) which service the Fire District and Department client. We have a
solid reputation in this market, and strive to become THE Fire Service design firm of choice
in Illinois, Missouri and beyond, servicing quality, repeat clients. We would desire to
develop long term relationships and/or become the “District Architect” for our quality
clients.

Police
To leverage our in-house Police expertise, our goal is to specifically target and win
significant police facilities to increase FGM’s visibility and brand recognition in the
market. As this market is a significant specialty, and due to our project experience and
resume, FGM will strive to expand our geographic reach for police design in a structured
manner, continuing to build our southern region’s expertise and targeting regional and
national opportunities, as a police design consultant, that match our minimum criteria of
approximately $10 MIL cost of construction, strong partner opportunities, and limited
local competition.

We also anticipate consolidation projects, regional training centers, joint dispatch, and
specialty public safety projects like the IFSI Building and Training Facility, Illinois Firefighter
Memorial, and Addison Consolidated Dispatch Facility especially desirable to elevate
FGM’s perception among our police and fire clients.

Recreation
Project types which service Park District and Recreation Department clients, such as
recreation / community centers, aquatic facilities, golf clubhouses, maintenance
facilities and other miscellaneous building types and parks. Development of long term
relationships with recreation agencies and winning/designing significant projects for
quality, repeat clients in this category will define our success in this sub-market. We would
desire to develop long term relationships and/or become the “District Architect” for our
quality clients.
