Fire/Police Stations : Berkeley Hills Fire Station #7
|
|
Crosby Group provided complete structural engineering design services for this new 8,700 square foot fire station for the City of Berkeley. The new
Berkeley Hills Fire Station #7 is a multi-company station located on a main thoroughfare in the Berkeley Hills, and replaces the outdated facility built
in 1939. Jointly staffed by both the Berkeley Fire Department and East Bay Regional Park District, it houses two apparatus bays and includes dorm rooms,
a dining room, kitchen, laundry/storage, exercise room, day room, reading room and offices. This two-story wood and concrete framed building utilized a
variety of building materials to achieve the desired aesthetic and functionality required of a fire station. The Hills Fire Station is also supplied with
full backup power from an onsite generator.
The Berkeley Hills Fire Station No. 7 has the distinction of being the City’s first U.S. Green Building LEED-certified building, which was accomplished
by the incorporation of recycled products into construction materials, as well as providing energy efficient HVAC systems, diversion of more than 75% of
construction waste from landfills, and low water consumption fixtures.
