Jefferson Sheard was part of a multi-disciplinary team, established by Mace, to deliver two new community engaged stations for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. The combined project to deliver a 24-hour fully staffed station in Hull city centre and a station facility crewed by on-call firefighters in the village of Brough was an exciting brief. The contrasting site contexts and functions has allowed us to develop two varied identities both in appearance and operationally, but both stations share the same aspiration of being an accessible and welcoming facility to serve the local community. Alongside the provision of operational facilities, both schemes incorporate amenities such as IT training space and gym areas which can be accessed by the public upon appointment.
