Mesa Fire Station 219 a 3-bay station located on a large parcel of land owned by the City of Mesa. It houses 8 dorms, living spaces, fitness and support areas. The limits of construction net approximately 2.23 Acres and allow for future development. The building is sited to create efficient apparatus circulation. However, this compromised solar orientation and exposed the building to sharp sun angles. To alleviate this, the design team incorporated solar controls on the south, east and west sides of the buildings while allowing light to infiltrate the north side. The wall construction is also vital in combating the harsh Arizona heat. The building is proposed to be a combination of metal-clad ICF and exposed CMU walls. .
