Buckeye Valley Fire Station No. 326 is a replacement to a temporary station on the same site, 326 has set the stage for a resurgence of energy, aesthetic, and value in the area. The site was once used as a park area that had been abandoned. 326’s footprint maximizes open space and provided for a park/
multipurpose field to be developed in a future phase. Restorative spaces and views of natural environments from the building are achieved through the inclusion of an outdoor desert adapted space directly visible from the building and courtyard. Sculptural desert plants meet full-story glass windows to allow the landscape to be experienced from the main entrance and central gathering space of the building. The outdoor patio area is designed with striking cacti accents to provide additional flavor and interest. The plant
palette is comprised of low allergenic, desert adapted plants. These drought-tolerant native plant species coupled with water-conserving drip irrigation systems reduce water use by 53% compared to a traditional landscape and irrigation design. 326 integrates a number of ‘green’ methods and materials in its built structure to support
the Fire District’s stance on sustainability as well. 95% of the construction waste of the project was diverted from landfills, and most of the materials procured for the project were
manufactured within 500 miles of the site. High-efficiency glazing and mechanical systems are found throughout as well as LED lighting which significantly reduces electrical loads on the building. The exterior is constructed of insulated concrete form blocking. Photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters on the site, and low-flow efficient fixtures further reduce 326’s dependence on outside utility providers. Solatubes, daylighting,
natural ventilation, and views to an impeccable landscape not only help 326 achieve LEED Gold Certification, but improve the quality of life for the building users. 326 provides a platform for future development with a design aesthetic that combines an exciting mix of recyclable materials and purposeful flair to shelter interior spaces from an
oppressive desert climate. Buckeye Valley Fire Station No. 326 was the recipient of the 2011 Station Style Satellite Fire Station "Notable" Award and the 2011 ICF Builder Magazine Light Commercial 2nd Runner up Award.
