City of Grand Island, NE Substation

After attending the FIERO fire station symposium in 2004, Grand Island, Nebraska contacted us about joining efforts with a local architectural firm to design their new fire department substation. We selected a local team member and were able to assist this department with the programming and schematic design of this new station. The programming and design offered it unique challenges as the site is in close proximity to a major theme park and get lots of vehicular traffic on a seasonal basis, also the climate itself and the vast difference in temperature and weather conditions. The results of our study of the departments needs led to the design of a 4.5 bay station with sleep rooms, kitchen and dining facilities, training room, offices, and all necessary decontamination, turn out gear storage, and SCBA facilities. SCN-Architects served as the design consultant for the local firm, Cannon Moss Brygger & Associates
