Paramedics Glenwood Station Remodel

The project was a complete remodel of the existing paramedic response station at 5870 Glenwood, to provide an efficient facility for a two to three person crew, and facilitate the performance of the critical services provided by the Ada County Paramedics. The program consisted of an interior and exterior remodel of the existing 6,084 square foot building and surrounding landscape.

The station is located in Garden City but is adjacent to the Ada County Fairgrounds and considered to be part of Ada County. Basic construction elements included remodeling the facility to accommodate living quarters and work areas for ACEMS staff stationed at the facility. The existing building footprint provided the limit for construction, with no expansion or alteration of the building’s exterior footprint.

•  Three new bedrooms utilized existing office spaces in rear of the building, each with independent HVAC controls along with operable windows to provide natural light and ventilation.
• Dayroom, kitchen, report writing room, and 3 ADA compliant restrooms
• Remodeled interior and exterior equipment storage spaces and ambulance bays
• New energy efficient windows, garage doors, flooring, and covered porchalls removed to open training room and living area
• All exterior doors equipped with card readers for entry control
• New metal roof with snow rails to replace old asphalt single roof

• Though not certified, the design concept maximized sustainability in all five of the categories outlined in the LEED Green Building Rating System including sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and materials and resource efficiency
• Energy performance designed to be approximately 21% above ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard
• Indoor environmental quality measures include the use of low VOC adhesives, carpets, paints, and composite woods
• Sustainable site considerations include stormwater design, heat island effects, and water efficient landscaping
• New building materials contain recycled content and were locally sourced wherever feasible
