CNH Architects Collaborates with the City of Elk River for a New Fire Station No. 1

We are happy to announce that CNH Architects has been selected as the architect for the replacement of Elk River’s Fire Station No. 1. This project will involve the construction of a new and advanced facility, either at the current location or a new site, to replace the existing facility that was built in 1971.

 

Located just 34 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Elk River is a vibrant community known for its natural beauty and diverse economy. As the city continues to grow, the new fire station will play a crucial role in meeting the needs of the fire department and the community.

BURNSVILLE FIRE STATION NO. 1

CNH’s largest fire station to date, the City of Burnsville’s Fire Station No. 1 is home to a crew of all full-time firefighters and more than 44,000 SF with 10 apparatus bays. Firefighter safety was one of nine top priorities for the station. Multiple contamination zones and a designated de-contamination area will allow firefighters to keep contaminated equipment and clothing in the apparatus bay until decontaminated. Another priority in the design was firefighter mental health. A warning system that slowly ramps up with alert tones and lighting while only alerting responding staff ensures firefighters are not awoken in an abrupt manner. The station includes areas for relaxation with different lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms, as well as a yoga studio and meditation garden. Extensive firefighter training features including Firefighter 1 and advanced training elements are another highlight of the station.
