Mount Juliet Police Department

The Mount Juliet Police Department in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, is a modern government facility serving the growing community of Wilson County. Designed by architect WORKSHOP, the building called for interior spaces that could balance the demands of a high-traffic, functional environment with a sense of civic pride and visual identity. The result is a facility that goes beyond the expected - using bold design choices to create a workplace that feels purposeful and energizing for the officers and staff who use it every day.

For the building's stairwell, architect WORKSHOP specified Fundermax Max Compact Exterior F-Grade 10mm panels - used here in an interior application- alongside Max HPL, to craft custom handrails and wall coverings. The specification of an exterior-grade panel for interior use speaks to the product's versatility and the design team's confidence in its performance.

Fabricated and installed by Sledgecraft Architectural Millwork using a custom fastening system, the panels were brought to life in decor 0647 Golden Yellow in both NG and FH finishes. The result is a stairwell that commands attention - injecting warmth, energy, and craftsmanship into a space that might otherwise go unnoticed, and serving as a reminder that durability and design don't have to be mutually exclusive - even in the most hardworking spaces.
