El Centro Fire Station No. 3 & Administration
El Centro Fire Station No. 3 is an 18,600 s.f. station located
in Imperial County California. The station has an administration
component to it. The project is sited in a manner that maximizes
the use of a limited site, which tapers into a future park area.
The project is designed to perform as a municipal building as
well as a fire station. Thus, there are various entry points
that are all accented by architectural steel elements. These
canopies also provide shade and protection. The design has an
Art Deco incluence and
is finished in stucco with warm colors and a standing seam metal
roof. The apparatus bays
are flanked by a training tower for ladder rescue and technical
training. There are 8 dorms, living and office spaces in the
fire station component.
