Temple Fire Station #8 and Emergency Operations Center

Members of the MRB Group Architecture team were selected to design a new fire station and emergency operations center for the City of Temple.

To address substantial population growth, the project was intended to provide another staffed fire station and a second EOC for the City.

The EOC is a stand-alone, fully operational emergency response center designed to withstand severe weather and accommodate up to 300 occupants, with additional sleeping quarters, showering facilities, and a full kitchen.

The design also focused on preparedness, incorporating a backup generator, stand-alone internet technology infrastructure for security, as well as system redundancy to reduce interruption or failures.
