Lake County Fire Station No. 12 – Astor

This fire station for Lake County was designed in a rural area that needed services with professional fire fighters and paramedics not volunteers. This station was designed as a two bay facility that can handle (4) fire and or life safety vehicles and the full time personnel that supports them.  The building is in a very picturesque setting that was actually a difficult site due to its propensity for flooding and the poor soil conditions.  The solution was a combination or removal of poor soils with an augmented foundation and slab to handle possible settlement and movement after construction.  The facility itself was designed for the 24 hour, 7 days a week multi shift operations, and includes sleeping and living quarters, as well as offices and dispatch spaces.  Low maintenance materials were a priority for this facility, and we designed with split faced CMU and a standing seam roof system.
