Fire Station No. 76

Bremik Construction provided the Multnomah Rural Fire Protection District with the award-winning Fire Station No. 76. Designed by Hennebery Eddy Architects, the building, situated on a five-acre site near Dodge Park, included a 4,120 sf, timber apparatus bay and 6,250 sf of office, dayroom, bunk, and fitness areas to house up to five employees. The timber apparatus bay was constructed with curved, glulam structural frames that provided architectural beauty to an often-overlooked functional area. Another architectural highlight was the exterior skin built from reclaimed barn wood that went through a charring process before installation. State-of-the-art electronics included a photovoltaic roof array and a sophisticated heating and cooling variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system.
