Project Description
Size: 10,800 sf New
Delivery: Construction Management Services
Owner: Town of Litchfield, NH
Architect: Warrenstreet Architects
Eckman provided construction management services for the Town of Litchfield’s new fire station. The project addressed the critical need for a modern and efficient facility to serve the growing community. The existing 1959 station, built by volunteers, had become inadequate to handle the increased call volume (from 35 to over 600 per year) and the evolving demands of modern firefighting.
The 10,800 square-foot facility, features four apparatus bays, including two oversized bays for large engines and tankers. The design, by Warrenstreet Architects, prioritized responder safety with dedicated decon and gear storage areas located strategically near the bays. Additionally, the station incorporates a secure entry space for visitors, separate from the apparatus bays, and is designed to accommodate the department’s future growth.
