Schmidt Consulting Group, Inc. provided Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Communications, and Structural design services for the new, $6 million, 9,709 square foot Fire Station and Air Operations Facility located at OLF Joe Williams at the Naval Air Station in Meridian, Mississippi. |

The new facility will include a three-truck apparatus bay, administration space, and living quarters featuring sleeping bunk rooms, a full kitchen with commercial food service equipment, a break room, and fitness module. The structure consists of a standing seam metal roof on structural steel and joists supported by load bearing cmu. Hybrid window systems were designed to mitigate the sound and meet current DOD Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection standards. Sustainable design was a driving force behind the project. As a result, the facility is seeking LEED Silver certification. Mechanical design included a geothermal heating and cooling system to improve energy efficiency for the facility. Low water-use plumbing fixtures and high efficiency interior lighting with controls and occupancy sensors were also included to further reduce facility water and energy use. The project has an estimated completion date of May 2010. |
