Fire Station No. 72 is a four-bay, 19,045-SF two-story station co-located at the City of Sunrise Public Safety Complex on Oakland Park Boulevard, adjacent to Sunrise Municipal Complex. ADG simultaneously designed the fire station and the five-story public safety building, which shares a central energy plant serving both facilities on the campus and which provides 100% redundancy to all critical infrastructure components ensuring that the facilities will remain operational during and immediately after a natural disaster.
The structure’s building envelope included coral stone tinted precast concrete panels, high impact resistant curtainwall glazing, modified bitumen roofing, and 14-foot-high side folding wood & glass apparatus bay doors facing the boulevard. The station design included approximately 4,000-SF of logistics storage, typical living spaces, such as dining, dayroom, kitchen, offices, and entry lobby space on the first floor, and bunk rooms and physical agility space on the second level. Additionally, the station was connected to the main public safety building, which houses fire administration, via a covered exterior courtyard with a fountain that connects to fire service classroom training spaces.
