We were tasked with leading the design of Air Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Fire Station 40, a ground-up facility designed to meet the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s growing capacity.

​

Keeping in mind that emergency responders typically spend more than half of their week at this workspace, Fire Station 40 was designed to prioritize natural lighting, energy flow, and comfort without compromising privacy and security. 

​

We designed a common space for work, rejuvenation, socialization, and training. This approach encourages interaction among team members and reduces energy consumption. With more than 28,000 square feet of space, the new station accommodates additional personnel, 11 emergency vehicles, heightened security measures, and a sophisticated communications system that ensures speed and efficiency when responding to emergencies.
