Grand Coulee Dam Fire Station
Grand Coulee
Project info
In 2024, Keith Panel Systems completed a significant project for the US Bureau of Reclamation: a two-story, 21,000 SF facility that relocatde the Grand Coulee Power Office Fire Department to a new, independent station. Designed by TCA, the project incorporates both historically proven materials with state-of-the-art technologies, including advanced security systems, to fortify vital national infrastructure at the Grand Coulee Dam.
The 2mm Weathering Steel was chosen for its exceptional durability and distinctive aesthetic. Over time, the steel develops a patina that forms a naturally protective layer. The weathering process gives the steel earthy tones that resemble natural iron deposits in rocky terrain. Our MODUS Rainscreen Panel System was used to provide effective building envelope performance while keeping costs competitive.
The facility achieved LEED certification and met rigorous sustainability standards, with TCA working alongside Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) to develop a third-party verification process for US Bureau of Reclamation Guiding Principal conformance. Constructed by J.S. Held LLC, this 100-year facility stands as a testament to innovative design and commitment to excellence in national infrastructure.
