Hometown Feature
A first-place winner of a Fire Industry Education Resource Organization Design Award, South Bend Fire Station No. 9 reduces annual energy costs by 30% compared to standard fire stations. It blends seamlessly into its surroundings and is designed with a “zone” concept that separates fire-fighting toxins from the station’s living quarters.
“Giving back to your local community and pursuing personal passions are supported here. I volunteer as a coach for youth softball and serve on community boards. Art is also a personal passion, especially mezzotint (intaglio printmaking) and charcoal and pastel drawings.”
– Andrew Avara, Managing Director | Shive-Hattery
