South Mopac Expressway, Austin, TX, 78729
LEEDv2.0 New Construction
AWARDED LEED SILVER SEPT 2006
WHITE. DOLCE & BARR ARCHITECTS
The Circle C Fire/EMS station is a four-bay fire station with an integrated EMS unit and living quarters located within a newly
annexed portion of Austin, Texas. The station serves a 24-hour staff of 4 fire and 3 EMS personnel. Capacity is for 15 people
when the new community is populated. Because of its designated response area, the building had to be placed in the
sensitive Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, impacting many of the site development decisions for the project.
Although fire stations are typically placed on 1.5 acre sites in more urban settings, a 9 acre site was purchased to provide a
lower impervious cover percentage and to allow more flexibility in placing the 9,100 sq. ft. structure. To control rain runoff
and minimize water usage, a 17,000 gallon rainwater collection system was provided for irrigation of the landscaping, which
used drought-tolerant native plants. As products of the foundation excavation, much of the stone found in abundance on
the site was used for retaining walls on the sloping site.
Concrete was used for all driveway and parking areas because of its light color and negligible hydrocarbon content.
Designated parking spaces were assigned for carpooling employees, alternative fueling stations were provided for electrical
vehicles and a local artist provided an installation of local stone and plant material for public education about ecology issues.

Minimizing materials going into landfills through
reuse, salvaging and recycling are ways to conserve
natural resources
Construction waste is a major element to consider
when diverting materials that go to the landfill
Prefabricated components also reduce the amount of
