Elk River Fire Department <br />Elk River, MN <br />Fire Station Feasibility and Facilities Study <br /> <br /> <br />Five Bugles Design <br />A Division of Wendel Companies <br />Two critical elements are to be considered with any training center of this sort; buildings and <br />training props. <br />The facility will require flexible meeting and training spaces, personnel support and break areas , <br />and administrative space. The following program allows for meeting space for 100 to 150 <br />people in a variety of different sized spaces. It also provides for locker and shower spaces for <br />trainees and appropriate break areas to provide catered meals for day long training events. The <br />detailed space program is available in the appendix. <br /> <br />Adequate site is required to not only allow for the training activity, but to do so safely and in <br />isolation from other training props and activities. Similarly, there is an opportunity to share <br />spaces such as a train car used to stage fire response as well as SWAT tactics training. These <br />issues will need to be explored in detail at time of implementation of this plan. <br />The areas estimated below are given in a range since implementation of this element of the study <br />is anticipated to be a number of years in the future. A more detailed planning effort that <br />examines a specific mix of activities tailored to available funding should be done prior to <br />purchasing property. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SPACE 20 YEAR NEED <br />Training Support 1,944 SF <br />Training 8,339 SF <br />Training Office 3,553 SF <br />Tempered Spaces 3,810 SF <br />Mechanical and Electrical Spaces 842 SF <br />Total 17,677 SF <br />SPACE AREA <br />Fire Department 4-6 Acres <br />Police Department 2-4 Acres <br />Elk River Municipal 3-4 Acres <br />Public Works and Streets Departments 3-4 Acres <br />Parking, Roads and Circulation 50% <br />Total 18-27 Acres <br />13
