Waterford Stone Case Study – Fire Station 5 (Tyler, TX)
Project Profile: Fire Station 5
Tyler, TX
In an effort to boost emergency response times and meet the needs of the growing community, the City of Tyler, TX, elected to move Fire Station 5 to a location that would provide better coverage for a larger portion of the city. The new 8,865 square foot facility was built with an expected lifespan of 50 years and was designed with future growth in mind. With a modern urban design that includes an eco-friendly barrel roof, rustic Waterford Stone™ masonry veneer, an open floor plan, special non-skid flooring, and an outdoor "man-cave" off of the kitchen, the new station is the envy of the city's fire department.
"We have the coolest-looking fire station in town," said District 2 Councilman Darryl Bowdre, who represents the area of the station, at the station's grand opening celebration on July 11.
The building that formerly housed Fire Station 5 will be converted into a much needed community center to serve the youth and elderly of District 2.
