City of Greenville, NC Emergency Services Training Facility

Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architects provided master planning and schematic design for a new Fire Training Facility to include classroom facilities, training/drill tower, burn building, pumper test pits, and exterior training areas for vehicle extrication and burn props.

The facility is under a very tight budget and a small ten acre urban site, bordered by a multifamily apartment complex on one side, and a residential subdivision on the other. The front of the site sits on a major highway, and the rear of the site is bordered by a watershed to an adjacent lake. This site presents significant challenges to the designer in choosing building systems and live burn technologies.

Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architects also provided master planning and schematic designs for a new fire station which will be a part of this complex.
