ENRICHING LIVES AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES | 24 <br /> PROJECT ExPERIENCE <br />ROCHESTER FIRE STATION #2 <br />ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA <br />The Rochester Fire Department’s Station No. 2 was too small and no longer <br />appropriately located. It needed new, up-to-date facilities that would also <br />allow for future growth. After studying the issues and researching the latest <br />design trends, the Rochester Fire Department conducted a national search for <br />a design team and selected BKV Group. <br />The Fire Station has four double-deep drive-through apparatus bays and six <br />dorm rooms with jack-and-jill bathrooms. The station features many training <br />facilities, including a five-story training tower, and serves as an EMS supply <br />depot and hose/ladder testing station for the entire department. <br />BKV Group engaged the Firefighter’s Advisory group throughout the process <br />by bringing them on tours of newly completed fire stations, involving them <br />in the design visioning workshop, and soliciting comments on the size and <br />equipment in each room as well as the preliminary building layouts. <br />TYPE <br />Fire Station <br />SIZE <br />31,220 SF <br />Four drive-through bays <br />Six bunk rooms <br />COST <br />$7.8 M <br />SCOPE <br />Programming, Planning, <br />Design, Architecture, Interior <br />Design, Structural Engineering <br />Documentation, Construction <br />Administration <br />OWNER’S CONTACT <br />Curt Pronk <br />Administrative Services Manager <br />507.328.2816 <br />cpronk@rochestermn.gov
