Cardinal Joint Fire District

Partnering with H2M Architects, the station is designed in a response to its context as a stylistic “bridge” to unify the building types surrounding the site: a factory to the east, a large gable-roofed church to the west, and numerous houses to the north – the station’s forms and material palette accordingly draws influence from its neighbors.

Functionally the station provides much needed coverage to the growing northwest corner of the fire district. The building features a double deep apparatus bay for five vehicles, a 50 person training room, interior skills training features, bunks, offices, kitchen, day room and an exercise room.
