STATION 45

Station 45 is a firehouse located in Oceanside, California. This firehouse is meant to be a prototype, applying research pertaining to firefighter health, both mental and physical. The focus of this research was to target the most common mental and physical health concerns first responders face, and how proper design of the fire station can eliminate or alleviate these concerns. The fire station has many health amenities including steam showers, saunas, light therapy meditation rooms, outdoor space, biophilic design, circadian lighting, and individual beds for each firefighter. The design of the hot zone, transition zone, and cool zone, separates harmful contaminants from entering the living spaces of the station, helping reduce risk for long-term physical harm.  ​
