Calgary Fire Station 16 and 卡尔加里消防局 Headquarters
The 卡尔加里消防局 (CFD) engaged IBI Group to prepare a master plan for the existing department headquarters site, and provide a functional program study that addressed the department’s expansion needs. The outcome determined that construction of new facilities in addition to renovating existing structures would provide the best value and fit to accommodate the CFD’s current and future needs. IBI was subsequently engaged as civil engineer and architect.

Future-proofing the new fire department headquarters for the City of Calgary
Calgary’s Fire Department Headquarters (FDHQ) is a 2.33 hectare site located in an industrial area of the city at the intersection of 11th 和11A街. A master plan of the site, prepared by IBI Group, determined that the existing 45,400 sq. ft. 消防局编号. 16 (the current Fire Department Headquarters) would be renovated, and a new, three-storey, 50,000 sq. ft. 部门总部，占地面积17400平方米. ft. 将建造储存设施.
The CFD campus environment needed to provide a place where different branches of the CFD could co-exist in close proximity while allowing for flexible growth. The campus would consolidate the major administrative groups of the fire department, while providing ongoing service to the community and the public through the active 消防局编号. 16, as well as the Firefighters’ Museum and Wellness Centre.
The three buildings surround a central plaza that serves as a focal point for new public access into the campus from 11th 街道本身. 这个纪念广场, 也是由IBI设计的, 是一个庆祝CFD传统的绿色空间, 并将举办各种CFD和媒体活动, 并为员工和访客提供便利区. The reimagined plaza and landscaping elements pay homage to the architectural heritage of the original 消防局编号. 1, effectively connecting the CFD’s past, present and future.
重建前, the site surface was a mixture of pavement and gravel and contained a number of buildings and permanent structures. IBI was retained to redesign the site and bring the stormwater management up to City of Calgary Standards, while utilizing existing infrastructure as much as possible.
