2011 Stationstyle Design Awards: Career Notable
Positioned at the north end of the Public Safety Complex allows for separate and efficient vehicular flow. Gates automatically open by vehicle transponders. Concrete aprons extend front and rear. The main entry canopy and watch office provides controlled access. The community room can be reconfigured into three additional dorm rooms.
Dorm rooms are situated along three separate straight corridors, allowing quick apparatus bay access. The second apparatus bay is extended for longer apparatus and has four-fold glass doors. Center trench drains, electrical drops, non-slip quartz epoxy and masonry block surfaces with a durable paint finish were used. A cross-ventilation fan under the north stair tower pulls air from louvers in the opposite clerestory wall. Support spaces along to north include decontamination, restroom, driver/engineer room, oxygen cascade room, medical supply storage, bunker gear storage, gym, and laundry room, reducing noise to the living quarters. A deep three-compartment sink, stainless-steel furnishing, floor drains and commercial grade gas stove complement the restaurant kitchen. Shift pantries house a refrigerator and wire shelving. In the dining room a small counter/cabinet beverage station has been provided. A patio was provided directly off the dining/day room with gas service that supplies a barbecue grill.
