Construction of Norman's newest fire station is on schedule
Norman's ninth fire station, which will be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, is under construction on Alameda Street, east of 24th Avenue SE.
NORMAN — Construction of the city's ninth fire station is proceeding on schedule, with an opening expected by late summer.
The station on Alameda Street, east of 24th Avenue SE, will improve response times on the east side and alleviate the workload of a downtown fire station, which is the main responder to fires and emergencies in that area, Fire Chief James Fullingim said.
The 15,200-square-foot station is being built on a 10-acre tract that also could be the site eventually of a recycling drop-off point and an eastside branch library.
The ninth station is modeled after Fire Station No. 8 on 36th Avenue NW, just north of Tecumseh Road, which is the first station in the state to be LEED-certified. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The westside fire station that opened in 2011 has received national recognition for its environmental and energy-saving features. The station was awarded gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, which sponsors an internationally recognized green building certification system.
