The City of Fredericton released the design January 3, 2007 of the fire station and Centre of Excellence in Public Safety Training to be constructed on Two Nations Crossing.
Work will begin this year on the first phase of the project - a state of the art, three-storey training facility - where a new generation of firefighters will learn the skills required in this demanding profession.
The Centre of Excellence will be complete and ready to use by summer.
Site-preparation for the main fire station building will continue in 2007 with construction expected to be complete in 2008.
One of Atlantic Canada's foremost architectural firms, Sperry & Partners, of Halifax, designed the new station.
The new station will feature an 11,090 square-foot apparatus bay. Locker rooms, day rooms and a dorm will take up 5,160 square feet with offices, training rooms and a public entrance adding another 5,040 square feet to the project.
Questions may be directed to the City of Fredericton Fire Department, (506) 460-2500.
