East Harris County Emergency Communications Center

The center opened with six call-taker stations and was planned for future expansion to 12 as demand increases. Ballistic-rated perimeter walls and redundant power, mechanical, and communications systems ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operations, while the hardened structure is engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds.

Clerestory windows bring natural light into the workspace without compromising security. The center also integrates with an existing antenna tower to streamline emergency communications across all serviced agencies.
