2010 Fire Station
Design Awards Program
In conjunction with the Fire
Station Design Symposium, the Fire Industry Equipment
Research Organization will once again stage its annual
Fire Station Design Awards program to recognize
excellence in fire station or related fire facilities
design and construction. The awards program is open to
design firms and fire departments that have brought a
fire facility on-line during the last five years or have
a project “on-the-boards” that has not yet been approved
for construction by the funding agency. Awards will also
be given for outstanding examples of fire station
renovations or adapted reuse that have been completed or
are in the planning stages. All entries submitted will
be on display throughout the fire station design
symposium.
Design Awards will be
presented in the following four categories:
New Construction
Career, combination or volunteer fire stations and
special purpose fire facilities that have been placed in service within the last
five years.On-the-Boards
Career, combination or volunteer stations and
special purpose fire facilities that have been designed but have not yet been
approved for construction. (This award category seeks to encourage the local
funding agency to proceed with the project.)
Renovations
Career, combination or volunteer stations and
special purpose fire facilities that have had a major reconfiguration and/or
addition within the last five years.Adaptations
Decommissioned fire stations converted to other uses.
Award Levels to be presented include Honor, Merit, and Recognition.
