Firing ranges are complex and highly regulated structures that require intimate coordination between trades and careful cooperation with the end users. MW Studios is experienced in the planning and construction of these facilities, and understands the crucial relationships required to maintain both force protection guidelines and efficient operations. Safety to the personnel is our highest priority, and we engage in extensive modeling and comparison of solutions when it comes to recommending a course of action. Our facilities have improved the training depth and capacity of countless regional law enforcement agencies.
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.”
