Project: Large Fire Crash Rescue Station at Travis Air Force Base (AFB)

Location: Travis Air Force Base, CA 

As a Design-Build team member, Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. (RNT) designed this new 26,850 SF fire crash rescue station for the United States Air Force at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA. The facility serves as both an airport large fire crash rescue station and a structure and property fire protection station for the Base. The station includes six pass-through apparatus bays – accommodating 12 fire engines (six engines for responding to airfield events and six engines for the air force base structure or brush fire response), 18 dorm rooms, associated living quarters facilities, administrative offices, support facilities for fire station personnel, and prominent foodservice and community dining area. In addition to the facility, various site amenities were upgraded, including access roads, exterior lighting, parking lots, and utilities. Energy use has been reduced in the design by 18% over Title 24 requirements. The system used for the Living/Office Space is a zone-level, Series Fan Powered VAV system. The building was designed and constructed in line with the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-NC v2.2 rating system and is LEED Silver Certified.
