*i'a'r,", '+;*, . '... <br />llwaco Fire Station <br />ILWACO, WA <br />MWA Architects designed the new 10,000 SF llwaco Fire <br />Station to replace the previous station that was lost in a fire <br />in 2OO7. The building houses a volunteer fire department, <br />chief's office, small museum, 5 drive-through apparatus bays, <br />shower room, a kitchen, public bathrooms, and community <br />meeting room. <br />The fire station is nestled in the heart of downtown llwaco <br />along coastal Highway 101. MWA worked closely with the city <br />to provide a building that would address the current and future <br />needs of the all volunteer staff and the other community func- <br />tions. These needs lncluded providing adequate space for fire <br />and EMS apparatus, training facilities, community hall and a <br />fire museum. MWA designed the new building to fit into the <br />fabric of the current community while providing for future <br />expansion to a full time paid company with an unfinished, <br />upstairs volume that will serve as future bunk rooms. <br />The interior is organized to provide clean circulation path- <br />ways that connect the community, administration, and <br />response functions. The simple coastal building design's <br />exterior is clad with a mix of cedar lap sidlng and board and <br />battens, highlighted by wood post and beam elements that <br />tie the building together. <br />KEY FEATURES <br />> New construction of fire station <br />> MWA coordinated the needs of multiple stakeholders <br />> Designed to serve present and future needs <br />PROJECT INFORMATION <br />Project Team: MWA Architects <br />Project Type: New Fire Station <br />Size: 10,000 SF <br />Client: City of llwaco <br />MWA ARCH TICTS 5 <br />x
