The color red is long associated with fire stations. As architects take on the design of such facilities, they may take a number of factors into consideration that call for new ideas. In Chula Vista, California, each of the ten fire stations easily align to their surroundings with their distinctive designs. Station Number 10, in particular, speaks to a contemporary aesthetic that matches the overall vision of the Millenia neighborhood it supports.
Designed originally by Jeff Katz Architecture (now COAR Design Group), Chula Vista Fire Station No. 10 features 4,000 square feet of yellow ALPOLIC®/fr aluminum composite materials. The finish clads the building's fascia and soffits and its distinctive tower. The pale hue of the MCM beautifully complements the darker building materials used for this project, and accent lighting highlights the color at the night. The overall design of the station fits in well with surrounding multi-family residences and retails shops in the area.

ALPOLIC /fr is one of the most advanced fire-resistant materials available and is IBC-listed to ensure compliance with many fire codes worldwide. Our ability to provide an infinite selection of colors on our materials also means you do not have to compromise beauty for safety - ALPOLIC /fr gives you both.
