Our experience in designing secure and/or critical facilities allows to apply that knowledge across different platforms. MWS works on projects like National Guard Armories and Readiness Centers, integrating defensive strategies in site design and leveraging our experience in blast and bullet-resistant construction. We are familiar with most force protection guidelines and understand the details of vehicle circulation and operational security.
When designing the new Engine 10 Ladder 11 fire station in South Philadelphia, MW Studios was integral in working with LAYER Architecture to create a strong and trusting relationship between the client, the design team, and the Philadelphia Fire Department. Rob Manns and his team are adept at speaking the language of first responders and can easily translate their needs into reasonable solutions. Unlike other technicians, MW Studios is a design-oriented architecture firm. Working with our design team, they enjoy resolving the technical needs of the city and the fire department while transforming a garage for emergency apparatuses to a home away from home, a community center, and a first rate building that anticipates the inevitable challenges that confront an evolving service to the community.”
