A fully glazed apparatus bay opens the innards up to the city. Offices, beanery, bunks and additional support spaces wrap the apparatus bay in an ‘el’ fashion, which appears to be standard practice on most of the plans we’ve run across. The facade is a corrugated, perforated aluminum screen over a red metal wall with a trapezoidal section. As the sun shifts, so does the character of the facade. In a few instances, the perforated screen runs continuously over windows, a detail we really like.
The volunteer fire department has 10 fire engines Preetz one of the largest fire departments in the country. The large glass doors provide a view into the engine room and form the face side of the city.
