Station 5 (Under Construction)
2830 Central Street
When completed in 2008, Fire Station #5, 2830 Central
Street, will be the City of Evanston’s first “green”
building.
New Fire Station #5

When
completed in 2008, Fire Station #5, 2830
Central Street, will be the City of
Evanston’s first “green” building. The City
employed Muller & Muller Architects, Inc.
(MM) to design the new fire station,
directing the company to design a building
to
meet basic requirements to obtain
certification from Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED). MM plans to
surpass basic certification and attain
Silver LEED certification.
LEED certification is offered by United
States Green Building Council (USGBC)
to
buildings that use environmentally-friendly
design, materials and energy-efficient
construction. These buildings are also known
as “green buildings.”
The new design has two stories with three
apparatus bays, kitchen, dining area,
day
room, workout room, turn out gear room and
de-con room with shower to wash down
contaminated turnout gear and equipment.
There will also be a watch office
on the
first floor. The second floor will house
dorm rooms, a locker room and
washrooms. The
building also has a basement to house
mechanical equipment and storage.

Fire Department staff requested a drive-through bay to avoid stopping traffic when backing into the station on Central Street when returning from calls.
The current Fire Station # 5 was built in
1954.
Unlike the temporary station that was set up
as a trailer at Northwestern
University’s
Ryan Field during the construction of the
new Station #3, there is no temporary
facility while Station #5 is being built.
Many temporary sites were
considered, but
none offered a practical solution.
Instead, during the construction of Station
#5, personnel and equipment will share
quarters for the year with those at Station
#1, 1332 Emerson Street. The
Evanston Fire
Department has arranged for dual response
with the Wilmette Fire Department to avoid
any lags in response times to the residents
in the far
northwest corner of Evanston.
Equipment: Engine 25: Fire Pumper Engine
