For years I have advocated co-location of public facilities, to reduce and to share resources. In this particular case, a lot is still separated, but you have one entrance and one parking lot, and a better use of land -- a two story building with separate functions on different floors but on the same building footprint and same piece of land is far better than two separate buildings on separate pieces of land.

Many municipalities are beginning to embrace this concept.

DC is not.
