The Public Building Commission has scheduled a meeting June 17 for firms interested in bidding to put up the new 12th District police station, a 44,000-square-foot structure. Twelve larger construction firms are pre-qualified to bid on the project, according a PBC Web page.

The new station will be built at 1412 S. Blue Island Ave., a four-acre property. A mason exterior will cover the building, and eco-minded features are expected to include a green roof, a waste heat recovery system and recycled material usage. VOA Associates, Inc. is the architect of record.
