Originally constructed in the 1960’s, this building had reached its mid-life by 2006. Its systems were worn and ineffective, the layout no longer suited operational requirements, the envelope required upgrading and the building was a high energy consumer. AE Consultants studied the facility and provided options to the client including comparisons of mid-life refit and replacement. A decision was taken to retain the building, upgrade and modify it to suit modern operations, improve its technical systems and reduce energy use at a cost of 50% of a new building. Redevelopment was carried out while the building remained operational. The building was expanded, interior spaces were redesigned, envelope enhanced and mechanical and electrical systems modified and improved. The exterior was modified to exhibit the St. John’s Regional Fire Department Brand as developed by AE Consultants.
