经验

Fire Central is home to Station No. 1 和 the TFD’s administrative 和 fire prevention support personnel. 70年,000-square-foot, two-story structure includes firefighter living accommodations, six apparatus bays, fire department offices, Tucson’s emergency operations center 和 a public museum, all constructed over a below grade, 两级, secure parking garage.

We took great care to fit the big, municipal building into the style 和 scale of the surrounding historic neighborhood. Meetings were held with neighborhood representatives at the onset of design to help guide the project to a completion that would enhance the area while providing a modern facility for the fire department. We maintained close contact with neighbors throughout the project, adjusting building processes to minimize the day-to-day impacts on their lives. We also addressed their concerns about protecting a nearby historic chapel that was extremely fragile. The team made minor repairs to the structure prior to beginning construction on Fire Central 和 closely monitored seismic activity from construction equipment to prevent damage to the structure.

Not only did the completed Fire Central provide the TFD with a state-of-the-art facility, the process of building it also helped enhance the community 和 strengthen the relationship between the neighborhood 和 the city.
