Fire Station #24

Cost of Construction: $6,150,000

Size: 21,741 SF

Status: Completed June 2009

Challenge/Goal: Built in a developing area, Station #24 needed to have sustainable products and finishes that were easily maintained and accommodate both the firefighters that would call this home and the public when necessary.

Solution: The station includes a circular building component that capitalizes on the functional benefits of a semi-circular day room for optimized TV viewing on one side, and a day-lit, first floor fitness room with operable windows facing the exterior. A combination training room/community room/backup EOC is located in the lower level. Overall water usage is reduced by 30% partially through an underground cistern collecting rainwater which is used for washing fire vehicles. The project is seeking LEED Gold Certification.

Green Initiatives That Aren't Watered Down

The Solution: The green initiatives led the station to be one of the first LEED Gold certified fire stations in Illinois.
