Scope Of Work
The City of Portage selected AVB to represent their interests as their Owner Representatives for the exciting update to the oldest fire station in Portage, Fire Station #2, built-in 1974. The focus of design for this new station is to improve overall wellness. This initiative is accomplished by adding “clean” rooms to the station to help prevent cross-contamination and the spread of carcinogens; all in an effort to prevent cancer. Additionally, the new layout allows for better in-house training and individual sleeping quarters to accommodate both male and female firefighters.
The new 18,300 square-foot fire station features a four-drive apparatus bay, hose tower and storage, workroom, offices, lobby, day room and kitchen, sleeping quarters, locker rooms, and fitness room. AVB oversaw & coordinated this project, designed by Williams Architects and constructed by Hall Builders.
