Current: Eagan Central Maintenance facilities enhance longevity, conserve

A three-building project for the City of Eagan marked significant improvements centered to the public works campus, and preparations for the future.

CNH designed and monitored construction of a vehicle storage building and wash bay, as well as remodeling for offices and a lunchroom. Indoor shelter for equipment is expected to extend service life while shielding machinery from public view.

Sustainable design principles were employed for a vehicle wash building for city fleets. Wash water is recycled to reduce usage while added upgrades involving LED lights, skylights and other day-lighting elements conserve energy. Eagan also called on CNH to create a complete asset management plan for the public works campus to be used for annual capital improvement budgets, and for tracking major maintenance tasks.

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.
