Fire stations are very unique building typologies which combine a home and workplace into one building. We worked closely with the fire department to make sure that both functions occurred symbiotically in this LEED Gold, Fire Station #8. Clearstory windows throughout the building provide natural light into the apparatus bay, dayroom, and offices. Seven individual dorm rooms consist of large floor-to-ceiling lockers, lockable under-bed storage, operable windows, and programmable tones for fire and EMS. The firefighters are also provided with a designated training/workout room, individual toilet rooms permitting flexibility in gender usage, gear grid lockers, and lighting programmed and coordinated with radio alarm. The impact rated, glass apparatus bay doors provide light into the space and allow it to be displayed to the community. The final building gives the firemen a very comfortable, maintenance-free environment.
