MBI was commissioned by Hamilton County to design and construct a new fire station headquarters serving the northwest region of the county. The 23,047-square-foot facility provides emergency services to an approximately 22-square-mile service area and supports daily operations, training, and community engagement.

The station features conventional construction with a metal roof, CMU walls with brick veneer and metal wall panels, and a concrete slab with shallow foundations. MBI worked closely with fire department personnel to incorporate operational program requirements and collaborated with the County’s maintenance department to select durable, efficient building systems that support long-term ease of maintenance.

Project Highlights

• Five two-sided apparatus bays, each 100 feet deep

• Approximately 2,100 SF of administrative space

• 1,400 SF training and community room with full commercial kitchen

• 3,200 SF living quarters designed for 12 on-duty personnel (24-hour shifts)

• Approximately 600 SF dedicated fitness room

• Energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the building and site

The completed facility delivers a functional, durable, and efficient public safety headquarters designed to meet the operational needs of both firefighters and the community.
