The
existing fire station in the heart of a development area becomes
a children’s centre. The main fire appliances room on the
ground floor which housed the 5 fire engines becomes the
children’ centre with different age groups separated by utility
boxes with services dropping from the high ceilings on ladder
structures. Fire engine door openings both front and back are
infilled with glazed screens and timber panels. At the back the
fire engine yard becomes the playground with covered play space
and resilient rubber surfaces and cycle track. Community rooms
and offices are upstairs in the former drill hall. The new
extension houses the core facilities of stairs, lift and
toilets, with entry foyer and reception facilities. |
