COAR Design Group worked in partnership with EC Constructors to complete this Design-Build Fire Station for City of Chula Vista. Fire Station 3 is approximately 13,350 SF and will replace the existing Fire Station 9. The building is located on a challenging triangular shaped lot that was strategically chosen by the city to improve response times on the west side of the City. The interior of the station includes four apparatus bays, ten dorm rooms, single occupancy restrooms, three offices, day room, large kitchen and dining area, fitness room, and fire department operational support spaces. The exterior of the building was designed to fit into the existing residential neighborhood while maintaining a civic presence in the community.

On-site improvements include public and personnel parking, generator, fueling station, hose drying area, and storm water treatment areas. Off-site improvements consisted of modifications to existing streets, emergency exit traffic signals, and the abandonment of existing roadways to be re-designated by City for use as public safety improvements.
