Client: Parker District Fire Department
- Location:
- Greenville, SC
- The Main Fire Station of Parker Fire District is currently housed in a 1950’s
building that has been expanded through the years to accommodate
incremental growth of the department. Recently the District determined
that the existing facility has outlived its useful life and should be replaced.
The District chose DP3 Architects to guide them through the planning and
design process for a new main station.
The facility, which is currently under design, is envisioned as a two-story, 19,000 square foot structure which will include:
- Four drive-through fire apparatus bays
- Cascade room, equipment and gear storage, and de-con area
- Administrative offices
- Classroom space
- Dorm/living quarters
- Exercise area
- Emergency electrical power generation system
Although the District is not pursuing LEED certification of the facility they are opting to incorporate sustainable design principals, materials, and building systems where practical, into the building design.
