Fire Station 76
Designed by Hennebery Eddy Architects, Fire Station 76 is not only distinguished by exposed 27-foot tall glulam Tudor-style arches in the expansive apparatus bay, but also by a shou sugi ban-treated barn wood cladding as part of the living quarter’s rain screen system. To comply with code, the design team made a provision for increased load requirements expected of an essential facility to help ensure uninterrupted operation following a major seismic or weather event. The glulam Tudor arches in the bay and multiple plywood shearwalls in the living
quarters serve as an efficient lateral-force resisting system.
