Text description provided by the architects. The two-story, 12,400-square-foot contemporary design accommodates the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) ambulance crews and vehicles and occupies a prominent site on Metropolitan Avenue near Bedford Street in the rapidly developing Williamsburg, Brooklyn neighbourhood. The station is part of FDNY’s plan to improve response time to medical emergencies throughout the city by increasing the number of stations and thereby reducing the distance and time ambulances travel to those in need. The station’s requirements led to a four-part division of the facility.
