Capstone - Medicine Hat’s Fire Station 1

Since I arrived late in semester four at SAIT from my adventure in Denmark, my Capstone project looks a bit different than most. I was given an existing DP set for Medicine Hat’s Fire Station 1. With this, it is my job to model the building, create a newly revised DP set, and eventually turn this project into a working construction drawing set. I chose this fire station as I figured the project’s scope would be suitable for how much time I would have, as well as I thought the site was absolutely gorgeous. It is situated right beside the South Saskatchewan River, to allow for water rescue opportunity as well as the typical fire and life safety measures. I was fortunate enough to have a private tour of the facility, where I got access to take pictures and measurements that will assist me in my drawings. Thank you to the team at Fire Station 1 for the opportunity, as well as S2 Architecture for creating the original design. This is a solo project and is currently still ongoing.
