The new Eagan Fire Safety Center includes 5 double deep drive-through bays for fire trucks and emergency vehicles, administrative offices, dormitories for firefighters, and a police evidence storage area. The full training room adapts to become a shared Emergency Operations Center for fire personnel, administration, and police personnel.
The station was built with high efficiency ventilation, heating, and vehicle exhaust systems. Natural lighting is utilized wherever possible to reduce electric demand. The facility was recognized by the Green Building Initiative with 2 Green Globes awards for energy efficiency and was the first Green Globes-certified fire safety center built in the United States.
“Our only regret has been not hiring H+U Construction sooner...there is no doubt they have saved the City of Eagan a great deal of money by providing constant value engineering of our project to help provide the most cost effective and durable product for the city.”
