to maintain and function for more than<br />
50 years. Designed by Deutsch Associates,<br />
the 13,850 sq. ft. building accommodates<br />
13 live-in firefighters. The project has four<br />
drive- through bays, a high tech energy<br />
management system, kitchen facilities,<br />
an exercise room and <strong>of</strong>fice and meeting<br />
space.<br />

cans and tinted to a copper finish. There<br />
are terra cotta polished concrete floors<br />
that are also low maintenance. In the<br />
weight room, recycled tires are used to<br />
create a cushioned floor covering.<br />
The green construction project recycled<br />
63 percent <strong>of</strong> the construction waste and<br />
sourced nearly 75 percent <strong>of</strong> the materials<br />
from less than 500 mi. away. More than<br />
80 percent <strong>of</strong> the lighting takes advantage<br />
<strong>of</strong> natural sources to save energy and<br />
improve employee well-being.
