About This Project
Schorr Architects, Inc. worked with the Columbus Division of Fire to prepare the Program of Requirements, Master Planning of the site, and complete architectural services for the Fire Training Center at the Parsons Avenue Fire Complex.
The previous Division of Fire training facilities, some of which were in unusable condition, were decentralized. Consolidating all needs into one site reduced time required to transport recruits and resulted in more intensive and efficient training. This project consisted of six separate structures on one site, with a total of 41,168 SF. Features include:
Classroom and tiered lecture hall with audio/visual equipment
Natural gas burn building
Multi-scenario training tower
Multiple-slope roof simulator structure
Drafting training retention pond
Shelter building
Storage building
Running track around the perimeter
