Our Process
The building also houses communications for the Guard’s responsive units creating the need for high security designs.
The 20,000 SQ FT facility includes 12 apparatus bays, which were designed to be able to serve both the flight deck as well as the building on and off campus, living areas, a full kitchen and dorms. This unit also houses the main communications for the Guard’s responsive units, with high security requirements for both the protection of the building and also the flight deck.
The design included unique elements such as the gravity fed foam fill stations, individual overhead waterfill stations for each bay, hazardous decontamination wash down rooms, air fill rooms and 15 second open garage doors.
