In association with local firm, Hunt A/E, Architects Design Group provided architectural services for the Bradford County EOC and 911 Center. The 25,000, two-story building will house the community planning and mapping commission, emergency management agency, 911 communications center, GIS coordinator, and the county grants department.
The new facility will consist of advanced technology features throughout the building. The Emergency Operations Center is capable of being transformed from an active work room to a multi-use room for training and lecture. The building will be constructed with precast insulated concrete panels which not only form the exterior walls but also provide the necessary protection for a building of this nature. Solid and perforated metal panels will be used throughout to bring the buildings aesthetics together. An innovative vegetative roof will be a feature on a portion of the roof that can be used during the workday. This project was also fully funded by natural gas impact fees.
