City of York, SC Fire Department Headquarters

The new Fire Headquarters station is located next door to their old shared facility and in the heart of the historic downtown district. Before design began, Stewart Cooper Newell performed a comprehensive study of the departments' needs and designed a station that will serve the department for the next 20 - 30 years. To meet the design guidelines of the historic district a split level design was used to reduce the buildings height, a hip roof that blended in with the surrounding buildings and an attractive columned entry. Inside the station has 4 drive through truck bays, sleep rooms, a training/ community room which is connected to the kitchen, a storage mezzanine above the truck bays, offices for the administrative staff and bunk rooms that can sleep up to eight in semiprivate areas.
