BSSW Architects has completed the design for Marco Island Fire & Rescue Station 50, a multi-use facil­ity that also will serve as the commu­nity’s Emergency Operations Center. The 24,000sf complex is designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and has a hardened “safe room,” an emer­gency power generator with 48 hours of running capacity, independent water source, fueling station and sewage hold­ing capacities to last three days.

Station 50 features three 90-foot, drive-through apparatus bays for fire trucks and ambulances, 13 individual bunk rooms for firefighters and para­medics, administrative offices, a com­munity room and a three-story training tower. Construction is expected to be complete in early 2023.

BSSW President and Principal Archi­tect Dan Summers, AIA is the principal in charge of the project, and Oscar Prieto is project manager. Manhattan Construction is the general contractor. Visit BSSWarchitects.com to learn more.
