Fire Station #3
Mayor Dan Coody and the Fayetteville City Council joined Fire Chief Tony Johnson and the Fayetteville Fire Department on Monday, July 7, 2008 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Fayetteville Fire Station #3 located at 1050 S Happy Hollow Road.
Fire Station #3 went on line for the Fayetteville Fire Department on Monday June 30, and the project was completed on time and on budget. The station has two bays and is approximately 6,560 square feet. Don Spann Architecture was the architectural firm for the project. Heckathorn Construction Company was the primary contractor, and sub-contractors included Baston Bravo Engineers, P.A., Tatum Smith Engineers, Inc., and Carter & Burgess, Inc. The budget for the project was $1.65 million, and preliminary estimates indicate the project will come in on budget.
The Fire Station #3 project incorporated various sustainable design and construction features with an emphasis on affordable and economical features that result in maximum benefits and long term savings in the building use and operation. Sustainable site considerations included the recycling of a grayfield site, reduction of heat island effect, passive design strategy, site protection planning, reduced footprint construction, and sustainable landscaping.
The sustainable features of the building include a tight building envelope and the use of durable style architecture, high performance windows, modular construction, and green building materials and products.
Some of the sustainable construction techniques included the use of renewable and recyclable wood and wood products, advanced wall framing system, use of fly ash in concrete, use of non-harmful plastics, use of low VOC paints, optimized material design and use of locally available materials, energy efficient construction, use of low E glass, utilization of light colored roofing surface material, BioBased foam insulation, moisture reduction detailing, protection of HVAC system, use of operable windows, recycled rubber flooring, recycled material counter tops, and ceramic tile backer board.
The sustainable mechanical, electrical and plumbing features include smart building and energy management systems, low water use plumbing fixtures, low flow shower heads and geothermal heat pump.
In 2005, the City and the fire department administration developed the Fire Service Expansion Matrix. This document helps administrators track growth in terms of service demand. A key component of the Fire Service Expansion Matrix is the use of five triggering points to gauge benchmarks that identify when land for a fire station should be purchased and when construction should be started. Currently, the northwest part of the city has reached the trigger point prompting officials to begin searching for fire station #8. In addition, the fire department is actively involved with other city agencies and the developers of the proposed South Pass development.
