		Chandler Fire Department Administration Headquarters The Chandler Fire Department Administration Headquarters building is influenced by the architecture of historic firestations. Careful consideration was given to the material selections to both echo this influence as well as complement the surrounding context in downtown Chandler, Arizona. The primary function of the administration building is to provide office spaces for fire department chiefs and personnel as well as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Also considered was the desire to memorialize the history of the fire department. This was accomplished through the use of several focal points including a historic fire truck located in a gallery style space. Reused fire hoses were weaved to create a canopy that protects a large balcony space that surrounds the double height lobby. Along with these elements, a memorial plaza was designed to the east of the administration building. The plaza pays tribute to both fire and police personnel while maintaining a cohesive language with the administration building. The project is sited in a manner that creates a street presence while tying together what was a fragmented fabric between the various surrounding municipal buildings. This also aided in reaching the targeted LEED Gold Certification.
