This project involved an addition and remodel to the existing YMCA in Hastings, MN. In order to facilitate continuing operations, the construction was done in phases. Phase I included a new addition with gymnasium, storage, and two exercise studios and relocation of the tot lot playground. Phase II involved complete remodeling of the existing men’s and women’s locker rooms and an exercise studio. The new multi-purpose gymnasium can be configured for basketball, volleyball, and pickle ball court layouts. New bright and airy exercise studios provide spaces for yoga and spinning classes. The remodeled locker rooms are more than double the previous size and have updated finishes and amenities for the users.
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.
