Description
The Hanover Park Fire Station No. 1 replaces an outdated fire station headquarters’ that was located one block . The facility features five garage bays that allow equipment parking, storage and staging. The second floor provides living quarters for twelve on-site personnel, men’s and women’s locker rooms and two slide poles. The daily administrative operations are located on the first floor including offices and conference room. The lower level includes a large training room and exercise room. The structural system is load bearing masonry walls, and steel supported precast plank floors. It has a hot water heating system with ducted air circulation. Through extensive value engineering, Sollitt discovered a more efficient heating system that saved $20,000; this system uses more boilers, of a smaller size that provides more control and efficiency.
