Case Study
Fire Station No. 4
Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. (SSR)- Fire Station No. 4 As part of the City of Germantown’s Smart Growth Plan, the 50-year old existing 4,000 SF ?rehouse was demolished due to inadequacies in living space, equipment housing, seismic compliance, ine?cient mechanical and electrical systems, and increased storage needs. To complement the neighborhood which includes a mix of residential, commercial, and retail the facility uses traditional architecture to blend into the surrounding facilities. The new station encompasses 14,500 SF in two stories and provides an eight-bunk room to accommodate three shifts. It also boasts three apparatus bays and a large training room for use by the ?re department or the City of Germantown. The replacement facility was designed in accordance with the U.S. Green Build
