SAN JOSE FIRE TRAINING CENTER AND EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER

After completing a feasibility study, which comprised a needs assessment, program, and program budget for the new Fire Department Training Center, the TEN OVER STUDIO team was retained to move forward with design of the new fire training center.

The project includes designing a new 2-story fire training building, 6-story fire training tower, and training grounds. A new Emergency Operations Center, training rooms, and administrative space for the Office of Emergency Management were added to the project.

The new 6-story fire training tower features Class A and B training props. The training grounds include a vehicle extrication area, driver training, and two smaller standalone training buildings.

Site improvements include utility infrastructure; covered storage for Fire and OEM trailers, equipment, and mobile units; space to store metal containers; perimeter fencing; gates; and landscaping.

The fire training building will be used for fire training classrooms; fire training, EMS, recruit, data systems, and office emergency management administrative offices. An existing warehouse will be renovated for apparatus and equipment storage, offices for the BOS and the fitness center.

The project is tracking USGBC LEED Gold Certification will be Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Carbon and will meet the requirements of the City's 2019 Reach Code. Roof-mounted and carport-mounted solar panels will generate enough energy to power the entire Fire Training Building and the Emergency Operation Center.
