ISTUDIO and planning partner FGMA envision the Public Safety Training Academy of the future with this master plan for DC Fire, EMS, and Police. The plan provides a roadmap for the future growth of the agencies with state-of-the-art sustainability and resiliency measures to create a world class campus in the nation’s capital. When complete, the campus will serve the mission to train first responders – all while managing its own stormwater and generating its own energy with a zero-carbon footprint.
The multi-phase master plan was developed around two shared campuses: an Upper Campus with classrooms, fitness, and admin surrounding a Parade Ground; and a Lower Campus for technical training that includes K9, Tactical Training, Firing Range, Fire Training Ground, and fully functioning Apparatus Bay for DCFD Battalion 8.
