Project Description
Eckman was selected by Town of Litchfield to provide construction management services for the new centrally-located fire station.
The 10,800 square-foot facility replaces a facility which was built by volunteers in 1959. Since that time Litchfield’s population has increased significantly, with its annual number of calls increasing as well from 35 to over 600 per year. A new station was needed to meet workload demands and increase safety for its responders.
The new fire station features four apparatus bays, two of which are oversized to accommodate large engine and tanker apparatus, as well as decon and gear storage areas located just off of the space to increase responder safety pre and post calls. A secure entry space, separate from the truck bays, welcomes visitors to the new station. It is also designed to accommodate future growth of the department.
Architectural design provided by Warrenstreet Architects.
