Thomaston Fire Station

Our architecture team developed a masterplan for a site owned by the City of Thomaston for a new Public Safety Complex to include a fire station, police department and additional courtroom/hearing room space. The first phase will include a new fire station with 5 apparatus bays, training rooms, offices, and dorm rooms for 10. The station is approximately 11,200 square feet at a cost of $2,428,300. During the design phase, the architecture team was asked to present an alternate design which renovated an adjacent building to house the fire department offices and add five bays. Plans were prepared, yet the program presented obstacles too great to overcome to incorporate a drive through station due to the steep grades at the adjacent site. Construction costs for pursuing this schematic exceeded the budget and the alternate design was abandoned for the new construction originally planned.
