Hilton Head Island, SC Fire Stations 1 & 5

Station No. 1 & 5 are based on the prototype design of Fire Rescue Stations 4 & 7. All stations were designed by Stewart Cooper Newell Architects.

The coastal barrier island location of this station presents several design issues including hurricane force winds and flooding. To tackle these issues the structure was designed to handle 125 MPH wind loads and the site is elevated to get the station above flood level.

Misc - Each prototype station is constructed of a pre-engineered steel frame and includes: three drive-through apparatus bays, individual sleep rooms, a large kitchen, a dayroom, an exercise room, and a covered patio.
