Description of Project:

This project is a new fire station facility for the City of Charleston to replace a 1928 structure that the city demolished in 2016.

The existing site is located in a mixed residential and commercial area located near Route 119. Using the existing limited site , the design required the building to be multiple levels to facilitate the needs of the station. The main floor includes a general office with an ADA toilet and shower along with a two stall apparatus bay to house the new fire truck and an EMS vehicle. The second floor provides fiveseparate sleeping quarters for the crew, two individual toilet / showers, laundry, and a full size kitchen and living room to accommodate three shifts. The steeply sloping site allowed the city to build a lower level to be used a general storage and workout space for the fire fighters.
