Schaumburg trustees to review design of next police station aimed to open in late 2028

Schaumburg trustees Tuesday are reviewing preliminary designs for the village’s next police station.

Approval of a final design is expected this summer.

Initial designs show a layout of the 145,000-square-foot facility that will face south along 1000 E. Woodfield Road as opposed to the west-side entrance of the taller office building there currently serving as Schaumburg’s temporary village hall.

The entire project is currently estimated to cost $99.8 million.

Trustees ultimately decided to locate the new building away from the village hall campus, but it will still bear the same modern prairie-style design.

Mayor Tom Dailly was pleased with the initial designs he’s seen and is looking forward to moving forward with the project that’s been in the works since 2023.

“After 50 years, I’m excited we’re looking to build a new modern police station to deal with modern issues,” he said.

Among the elements of the building new to the police department are a state-of-the-art fitness room and firing range, a climate-controlled indoor garage for all vehicles, and separate doors for the general public and personnel as well as arrestee departures.

After the village board completes final tweaks to the design in June, it will be reviewed by the zoning board of appeals in July.

Once the new village hall at 101 Schaumburg Court is completed at the end of the year, staff will move in. The temporary site is slated for demolition next January to make way for the police station.

In March of 2027, village officials expect to approve a guaranteed final price for the construction project that’s expected to begin in May 2027 and reach completion in December 2028.

No decisions have yet been made about the fate of the current police station at 1000 W. Schaumburg Road, next to Schaumburg High School.
