An emergency operation center (EOC) is the nerve center of first responders, both during a crisis and during day-to-day service. These facilities require a fundamentally sound layout and design to allow the staff to function in the critical roles that maintain public health and safety.
MWS understands the relationships between dispatch and administration as well as the crucial needs of the dispatchers themselves. We also understand the importance of building force protection and how to plan a site and building to mitigate vehicular and pedestrian threats. When planning a critical response facility, prioritizing staff safety and protecting HVAC intakes is crucial.

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.”
