Seymour Fire Station No. 2 & Headquarters Seymour, Indiana The Seymour Fire Department had outgrown each of its three facilities, making it difficult for the fire inspectors and officers to properly serve their community. To accommodate their immense spacing needs, RQAW | DCCM assisted the City of Seymour with the replacement of Station No. 2 with a new 15,800-sq.ft. fire station and headquarters facility. The new facility was completed in the fall of 2022 and designed for ADA compliance. It included living quarters, a 20-ft apparatus bay, mezzanine, and administration areas. The intent of the design was to provide the city with a serviceable, functional, and long-lasting structure at as reasonable a cost as possible. Our team’s mission was to deliver a facility that spurs downtown development, activates neighborhood revitalization, and provide long-term financial and community benefits for the City of Seymour. This project was successfully delivered through a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreement, an arrangement between private development companies and municipalities offering significant benefits and flexibility to both parties. 

Steuben County Judicial Center Angola, Indiana RQAW | DCCM designed a new 55,000-sf. facility to house Angola’s three courts, prosecutor’s office, and Clerk’s office. The historic courthouse in downtown Angola served them well for 150 years, but their space needs outgrew it. The RQAW | DCCM design team strove for a timeless look, shaping this new building to integrate well with the historic buildings that surround it. Construction was completed in June 2024.

International District Community Center Indianapolis, Indiana This new project consisted of alterations to a 15,000-sf existing single-story building to be used as a local community center. The building formally served as an Aldi’s grocery store but now provides three new classrooms and a large event space that can be subdivided into three individual spaces. With this flexibility, IDCC has the opportunity to provide a wide range of functions to serve the community. Additionally, the facility includes 5 new offices, tenant space, two conference rooms, a work/mail room, and new restroom facilities.

Whistle Drive Development Fishers, Indiana RQAW | DCCM designed a new two-story, mixed-use building in the heart of The Stations at Fishers District. The development’s first floor will include 17,400 sf. of retail and restaurant space with options for patio dining. The second floor will have 15,400 sf. of office space. This project was successfully delivered through a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreement, an arrangement between private development companies and municipalities offering significant benefits and flexibility to both parties. 

Westfield Fire Station No. 81 Westfield, Indiana Westfield Fire Station 81 served as a vital hub for emergency services. This state-of-the-art 36,000 square foot headquarters building housed essential facilities, including eight bays for firefighting vehicles, a new training tower, on-site physical fitness areas, comfortable living quarters, a fleet services hub, and dedicated administrative offices. With a construction cost of $12.8 million, it played a crucial role in safeguarding the community for the future.

Lawrence Police Station Lawrence, Indiana RQAW | DCCM worked with the City of Lawrence and the Police Department to complete a feasibility study that assessed not only their current facilities but also their current and future space needs. The result of the study was a proposed facility that would maximize operational efficiency, enhance public safety, and be tailored to the department’s needs. The resulting project is a 3-story (basement included) 37,000-sf facility designed to complement the architecture of Fort Benjamin Harrison, located just north of the facility, by incorporating red brick, a front “porch,” and columns. The state-of-the-art facility includes a 911/dispatch center with its own breakroom, restrooms, offices, and conference areas. Each department was designed to accommodate immediate and future space needs. Other design highlights include a community training room with tiered seating for up to 112, a fitness area with locker rooms, and a secure vehicular sally port. The $12.9M project was completed in 2019.
