This new fire station was developed for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde located in Grand Ronde, Oregon. The site, which consists of 7.97 acres, was subject to an archeological assessment due to Native American artifacts being found on the site. Steele Associates provided programming and a space needs assessment to begin the design process for this new 10,000 SF fire substation. Emphasis was placed on building energy efficiency, thermal comfort and sustainable measures that enhance the buildings performance and interior environment.
