Engineers at Pick Everard have been awarded a four-year term commission from The Northern Joint Police Board to design mechanical and electrical services for all police buildings in the region.
Other features of the park include Scotland's only electric tramway.
The £9million upgrade, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, North Lanarkshire Council and other grant-awarding agencies, includes a new exhibition hall which will be the centrepiece of the museum.
There will be more interactive and hands-on exhibits, better visitor and staff facilities and a new lifelong learning suite.
Plans have now been submitted for approval, following work by the Summerlee team.
Planning consent is expected at the end of March 2006.
Pick Everard partner Andy Donaldson said: "We've been working with North Lanarkshire Council for the past six years so are delighted to play a part in this latest project to improve one of Scotland's top industrial heritage attractions.".
