Stoughton, MA – CTA Construction Managers announced it was awarded the contract to construct the new 25,145sf fire station for the town of Stoughton.
The new fire station will be located on an undeveloped parcel of land on Prospect Street. It will house offices, training space, larger fire truck bays and dormitories for both male and female firefighters, who currently must use the same facilities for showering and sleeping. The new station will also include an emergency operations center and public health headquarters, which would be able to handle an emergency distribution and vaccination center. Plans also include areas for showcasing historic memorabilia associated with the department’s long history of serving the town.
“We look forward to working on our fourth project with the team at CTA Construction Managers to bring this design to life,” said Donald Walter, principal in charge at Dore & Whittier, the firm that designed the new station. “The design creates a state-of-the-art emergency services facility that will be able to stay up to date with accommodating personnel, equipment, vehicles, and the town’s growing needs for years to come.” Previous projects CTA completed with Dore & Whittier include Weston High School, Webster’s Park Avenue Elementary School, and the Scituate Public Safety Building.
“Necessities like larger truck bays are vital to the town’s ability to respond to a wide range of emergencies,” said Taylor MacDonald, partner at Pomroy Associates, the town’s project management firm. “For example, trucks used today have to accommodate equipment for HAZMAT situations and emergency medical equipment, which the larger bays will be able to accommodate.”
“We are very happy to be moving into the next phase of this project and look forward to breaking ground,” said Fire Chief Michael Carroll.
This will be CTA Construction’s second project for the town of Stoughton. The firm previously built the Stoughton Department of Public Works.
