South Hadley, MA
The 1960’s Fire District #2 Fire Station was renovated and expanded to meet the growing needs of South Hadley’s Fire Department and Water Commission. The expansion included new offices for the department’s administration staff, meeting and conference space, as well as increased storage. The modernization of the facility included a thorough revamping of the building’s exterior, providing an upgraded and more accessible presence for the District.
A site circulation plan allows for the separation between visitors to the station and emergency response apparatus. while incorporating timely access to the building for On Call Responders. Also included in the project were plans for future growth and site improvements at the Fire Station. The new addition was located to the south of the existing structure, allowing for expansion of the apparatus bays to the north.
