The project is a joint effort between staff from the Eugene Airport; the Eugene <br />Fire & EMS Department; the City of Eugene Facilities and Information Services <br />Division; RS&H, a facilities and infrastructure consulting firm; and PIVOT <br />Architecture, a Eugene design firm. RS&H has extensive experience in <br />planning airport fire stations. PIVOT designed several of the new EFD stations. <br />The new ARFF station will replace the outdated and undersized Fire Station 12 <br />building. Relocating the station on the north end of the airfield will provide the <br />ability for fire personnel to access either runway under the required FAA <br />response time. The current building is the only remaining fire station operated <br />by the City of Eugene that lacks separate quarters for both male and female <br />firefighters. <br />"The new location and improved station design will both help us provide an <br />improved level of protection to Eugene's flying public," said Eugene Fire Chief <br />Randy Groves. "We look forward to serving the Airport from this new facility." <br />Construction of the new ARFF station is anticipated to begin late this summer <br />and be completed by mid to late summer 2010. The 11,600 square foot <br />building will feature four ARFF vehicle bays, specialized equipment storage, <br />conference space, and living quarters for four firefighters. <br />### <br />The mission of the Eugene Airport is to support quality airport facilities and services that meet regional needs. <br />The Eugene Airport is the second busiest airport in the State of Oregon supporting commercial service and <br />general aviation activity. <br />Eugene Airport • City of Eugene • www.flyEUG.com • www.eugeneairport.com <br />28855 Lockheed Drive, Eugene, Oregon 97402-9500, (541) 682-5430, (541) 682-6838 FAX <br />
