West Natick Fire Station #4

Natick, Massachusetts

Natick’s Fire Station #4 supports the largest call volume within the town and responds to calls within other districts as needed. This workload, combined with planned development in the area, necessitated a new station to enable fast response times and provide adequate equipment and apparatus storage. Tecton’s design includes living quarters and supporting amenities, training rooms and tower for shared use with other districts, five double-deep apparatus bays and rooftop solar panels. It also includes a watch room to act as backup dispatch to Headquarters and will also be the new Emergency Operations Center during the Boston Marathon. A community pocket park and shared bike path connect both the station and neighborhood to amenities.
