Scope Of Work
DVC modernized Engine Co. 14 from its original structure, built in 1944. DVC worked with the Department of General Services (DGS) to construct a comprehensive interior upgrade and a replacement of the Apparatus Bay. The balance of modern design and historic elements set a benchmark for future engine house renovations.
The historic nature of the engine house was preserved by maintaining the large apparatus bay and the iconic fire engine red vehicle doors. The facility was modernized with two additions, totaling 4,369 square feet. The expanded square footage allowed for separate men’s and women’s facilities, expanded kitchen and dining hall, new exercise room, and offices. DVC ensured continued service to the community during the renovation by constructing a temporary fire station with a shelter for the fire trucks and ambulance
