This project was developed by first performing a needs analysis and establishing a budget. When designing the new building and site, every part of the building was scrutinized and looked at for cost efficiencies. Many building types were studied for function and cost. Ultimately, the 14,500 s.f. fire station was constructed using pre-engineered metal building to meet the design challenges while keeping the construction costs as low as possible. Exterior aesthetics were given much thought so the identity of a fire station was not sacrificed for costs.
