Taylors Fire Station

Taylors Fire Headquarters

Taylors, SC

The new Taylors Fire Headquarters is more than just a building, it is a symbol of over 65 years of dedication and the unwavering commitment of the first responders that serve residents, businesses, schools, and churches in the Taylors Fire District.

Replacing the previous headquarters built in 1980 across the street, the new station is located prominently at the intersection of Wade Hampton Boulevard and Main Street, serving as the new gateway to the heart of Taylors, SC. This state-of-the-art facility was designed to serve both the growing operational needs of the fire department and the broader Taylors community.

Spanning 23,050 square feet, the headquarters features three drive-thru apparatus bays and one back-in bay, a separate 4,450 square-foot fleet maintenance building, administrative offices, and a flexible community meeting and training room. The space was carefully planned to support a crew of 30 firefighters, offering individual dorms, dayroom, kitchen, fitness room, and infrastructure to ensure quick response times and operational efficiency.

DP3 Architects partnered with Hogan Construction, utilizing the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method to ensure a collaborative process throughout pre-construction and construction. This approach allowed the design team and contractor to align on quality, budget, and schedule early in the process, contributing to a seamless project execution.

The modern design, strategic siting, and expanded program make the new Taylors Fire Headquarters a state-of-the-art center of emergency response and a proud civic icon for the Taylors community.

Taylors Fire Headquarters

Established in 1958 as a Special Purpose District, Taylors Fire & Rescue serves a large area that includes a variety of industrial, business, church, school, and residential development. Creating a new headquarters for this growing area of Greenville County will address the facility design needs for the fire department and serve as a beacon of safety and security to the community.

Located at the intersection of a major highway and main street leading to downtown, this new building will serve as a gateway to Taylors, SC. Architectural forms and materials will be reminiscent of the Historic Southern Bleachery Mill, originally constructed in 1924, and the Enoree River train trestle which carried the first Southern Railway tracks from Charlotte to Greenville constructed in 1873. Both have strong ties to the history of this community and are still in use today.

The new 23,050 square foot fire headquarters will contain administrative offices, a community meeting/training room, three drive-thru apparatus bays and 1 back-in bay, along with firefighter living and work areas. The new campus also includes a new 4,450 square foot fleet maintenance building servicing apparatus for the entire department.

The project is being developed using the Construction Manager at Risk construction delivery method with Hogan Construction, LLC providing the pre-construction and construction services for the project.
