Working with the town of Lyndon, the volunteer fire department and police
department, EHD provided several design scenarios illustrating various
groupings of town services including fire, rescue, police and ambulance.
The final design included program spaces for the fire and police departments.
The building provides approximately 12,500 square feet of area accommodating
a 4-bay, double-stack 6,000 square foot apparatus bay, 1,500 square
foot police department with the remainder housing offices, bath/locker
rooms, day room, kitchen and training room. The building is designed
to allow for future conversion to a full time occupancy by the fire
department.
The site is located in a historically significant area adjacent to an
existing utility company whose building was extremely close to the property
line and in the central part of the downtown area. EHD, working collectively
with the town, neighbors and USDA, was able to create a win-win solution
for all concerned.
