SELECTED PROJECT:
Midway Volunteer Fire Station

This award-winning fire station was designed as a prototype for future two-bay stations. While functionality is economically achieved, the design provides enough flexibility to accommodate any future site. This fire station design utilizes a pre-engineered metal building system, which was a prerequisite of the City of Tallahassee Fire Department. Other building materials include metal wall and roof panels, steel roof trusses and concrete masonry interior walls. This energy efficient building has skylights to provide light into the apparatus bays, which house fire engines and other rescue vehicles. The interior consists of a kitchen, office, ready room, equipment storage, bunkroom, indoor recreation and outdoor recreation patio. The exterior is painted fire engine-red and has black and white accents. Johnson/Peterson Architects received three design awards for this facility that was completed on schedule in 1984 and within the construction budget of $310,000.
