GREENPOINT EMS STATION

Brooklyn, NY, United States

YEAR
2013
The Fire Department of New York and the NYC Department of Design and Construction have completed construction on the Greenpoint Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Station, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The two-story, 12,400-square-foot facility that supports FDNY ambulance crews and vehicles has a strong, distinctive form occupying a prominent site in the rapidly developing neighborhood.
The station’s requirements led to a four-part division of the facility. Because the space for housing vehicles calls for a higher ceiling height than the rest of station, one side is taller than the other. This change organizes the building’s functions. On the east side of the ground floor are spaces for four vehicles and a support zone. The lower west bay houses the lieutenant’s office, captain’s office and other administrative spaces.
Above the vehicle bay on the second floor are locker rooms and bathrooms for the women and men who maintain the station’s three shifts. Across the atrium, to the west, is a fitness facility, training room, and 700-square-foot combined kitchen and lounge area. The first floor’s different ceiling heights create different levels at the second floor and that shift in levels repeats at the roof line. This shift and programmatic division is marked with a skylight extending from the front to the back of the building which infuses the space with light and connects to a double height glass-enclosed entry.
Exterior, roll-up, red doors introduce bright color to the otherwise cool, glass façade. Providing a diagonal sculptural break, the transparent exit stair with perforated aluminum panels, runs parallel to the street and connects the entrance and second floor. The 90-foot-long, second-story translucent glass wall appears to float above the ground and contributes much to the building’s strong identity. Aglow in the evening, the new Greenpoint EMS Station is a distinct presence in the Williamsburg community.
