This “green” fire station is a point of pride for the collaborative design-build team and the neighbors who participated in the design process. This is one of the first buildings in Tucson to feature environmentally friendly autoclaved aerated concrete walls (AAC). Schneider Structural Engineers introduced AAC for soundproofing and insulation of the 13-bedroom living area, integrating this technology with conventional CMU for the four-bay apparatus section.
