Project Overview

Firehouse #11, located at 620 West 28th Street, was originally built in the 1950s. The outdated building has been replaced with a modern, state-of-the-art facility that is better equipped to serve the surrounding community. The new firehouse is a 17,160-square-foot, two-story, four-bay facility, built with the latest advancements in safety, technology and environmental sustainability.

The project team will pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for this facility.

Project Goals

To provide the surrounding community with a modern facility that accommodates a fire team, a rescue team and houses state-of-the-art equipment.
