Clackamas Fire District Station 16 received an Honor Design Award from the Fire Industry Education Resource Organization (F.I.E.R.O.) during the organization’s annual conference in Raleigh, North Carolina. The new fire station is one of two designed for the district by Hennebery Eddy that opened in the spring.
Hennebery Eddy project architect Camilla Cok, AIA, attended the F.I.E.R.O. conference to present “Equity, Efficiency, and Exceeding Expectations” with Clackamas Fire Deputy Chief Ryan Hari and Division Chief Josh Gehrke. The session provided an overview of the fire district’s goals of maximizing flexibility and efficiency to best serve the community, while creating a more equitable work environment. Camilla, Chief Hari, and Chief Gehrke shared Hennebery Eddy’s tailored, listening-first approach to designing Station 16. The collaborative effort resulted in an energy-efficient building with gender-neutral, space-saving bunk rooms; multi-use common spaces; optimized proximity between living quarters and the apparatus bay; and design features that acknowledge the historic significance of Oregon City and will also fit, reflect, and engage the community for the next 50 years.
Fire Station 16 is one of several award-winning fire station design projects from Hennebery Eddy. Other fire station projects include Clackamas Fire District Station 19, City of Portland Fire Station 28, and Fire Station 76 for Multnomah County Rural Fire Protection District 10.
