Eagan Central Maintenance Facility improvements (new photos)

Staff from CNH Architects recently met with neighbors of the Eagan Central Maintenance Facility to share images and details about the improvement project.

The work involves three buildings: a vehicle wash bay, vehicle storage building and remodeling of first and second floor offices and a lunch room, explains Architectural Designer Jessica Johnson with CNH Architects.

The expansion of indoor storage and a vehicle wash building on the site are expected to extend equipment life and reduce visible elements. The wash building will feature a water recycling system to minimize water usage.

Updates to the office are intended to meet current staffing space needs in a welcoming and safe environment.  There are plans for skylights and other daylighting elements to reduce energy use, as well as LED lighting upgrades throughout.

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.
