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.
