In today’s era, public safety is increasingly more critical. The ability to respond to events ranging from a regional natural disaster to a single motor vehicle collision is essential to ensure the safety of our communities. The design of a police station requires a high level of expertise to develop an enduring building that optimizes preparedness, ensures responder safety, and promotes operational efficiency. The world around us is ever-changing, and as architects and responders, we continually educate ourselves and enhance our facilities to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of our communities.
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.”
