<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Crayola recently designed a new facility incorporating Durat – a natural choice for the colorful company. Drawing on the extensive color offering from Durat, W2A Design customized the material to make it their own - using a white base and multi-color specks for their conference tables and reception counters. Color options for Durat are endless and the applications for Durat are bound only by the designer’s imagination.

<tr><td><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">W2A Design Group proudly joins Allentown officials and fire administration in the Ribbon-cutting ceremony officially opening the new East Side Fire Station! W2A Design Group designed the new East Side Fire Station for the City of Allentown, which involved the demolition of the existing 50+ year old 2-bay station, and replacing it with a new state-of-the-art facility on the same site. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The new 8,000 square foot, two-story building is identifiable as a fire station, and is welcoming and accessible to all. The building has an approachable scale, and incorporates contextual, quality materials in a present-day interpretation of traditional building elements and detailing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a career station, the building provides both public and non-public functions “24-7”, but organizes those functions into an understandable and spatially efficient layout. Three drive-through Engine Bays provide space for fire apparatus, and living quarters and work space on the second floor provide for a maximum of ten firefighters. Living quarters include separate male and female bunk rooms with private shower rooms, Kitchen, Day Room, Office and Exercise Room.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">W2A has been working closely with Coroner Zachary Lysek, completing a study for a much-needed forensics center in Northampton County. Preliminary designs presented by W2A Design Group to supportive County officials provide a cutting edge / state-of-the-art facility that will address the needs of the County far into the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The design of the 23,770 S.F. center incorporates features such as specialized equipment and building systems, a large refrigerated area and private viewing area for families, as well as a secured enclosed drop-off area and large storage garage for Coroner’s vehicles, mobile lab equipment and space for crash investigations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Space was designed to be flexible and adaptable. Special consideration was given to work flow process and space utilization / efficiencies. Future expansion has been accommodated in the facility organization.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

In little over a day’s time Allentown's new East Side Fire Station has started to take shape! Structural steel erection began on Wednesday, and is expected to be complete within a week. East Side residents, City officials and W2A are thrilled to see the progress of construction, which is scheduled for completion and occupancy by years’ end.<br />
<br />
