Vernon Township Fire Station

For this development, a 12,500 SF building includes associated parking, fire truck access, and utility infrastructure. Two new entrance drives were designed along Vitality Drive; one on the south and one on the east, to provide ingress and egress for fire trucks from the building, as well as a drive to a parking area in the front of the building.

The existing pond was expanded in order to provide additional detention volume required to meet present day standards.
