Clovis Fire Station No. 5
Clovis, CA
The Clovis Fire Station is constructed of concrete masonry block for durability. The exterior uses rough block walls against slick metallic metal cladding. The apparatus bay uses burnished block for its appearance and texture. The overall result is an innovative, attractive design. The 10,500 sq ft station houses a crew of six and features a conference room, kitchen dining area, dayroom, fitness facility, work area, offices, bedrooms and 80-ft. apparatus bay. Natural lighting is achieved through the use of clerestory lighted apparatus bays, shaded windows and an iconic skylight in the entry. Numerous sustainable design features were also implemented including extensive use of recycled and low-pollutant materials.
