Designers wanted to make this fire station a landmark to people in the area as they came into town. The building design conveys a welcoming presence with a modern take on traditional architecture of the area. The façade highlights the building’s five glass apparatus-bay doors. The doors’ curves help balance the otherwise horizontal orientation of the building’s long front elevation, as do two flat-roofed tower-style bump-outs that also help define interior functions.
