Boise Fire Station #13
Pivot North and Rice Fergus Miller have collaborated with the City of Boise and the Boise Fire Department to deliver comprehensive master planning and design services for Boise Fire Station #13. This new station is strategically located to serve the city’s northwest community, enhancing the city’s capability to achieve its goal of a five-minute response time for every 911 call.
The 10,500 SF station includes three apparatus bays, six sleep rooms, and a satellite police reporting office, which will boost efficiency and communication among the city’s first-responding teams.
The exterior will be clad in a combination of three types of metal panels creating a unique aesthetic. A large portion of the roof and some interior walls will be composed of CLT [Cross Laminated Timber] panels, produced with locally harvested wood in Montana. All materials were selected, and spaces were designed with trauma-informed design principles as the foundation of decision-making. The building meets the City of Boise Green Building Code, complying with the city’s strategy to provide carbon-neutral facilities by 2050. The station will be the first 100% electric facility and will accommodate eight vehicle charging stations and a future PV Array for electric engines.
