City of Grand Rapids Division Avenue Fire Station

The new Grand Rapids Division Avenue Fire Station is a state-of-the-art, two-story, 18,100-square-foot facility designed to replace the existing, non-salvageable structure on a 1.22-acre site. Key features include three pull-through apparatus bays, ensuring efficient emergency response capabilities. The building’s exterior is designed with an open and inviting façade along Division Avenue, fostering a strong connection with the surrounding neighborhood. A prominent northern quarter-acre lawn area has been planned to enhance community engagement, with potential future conversion into a futsal court. Additionally, a mural wall will serve as a public art feature while discreetly concealing building utilities. The facility integrates a semi-public training and community room, seating up to 40 people near the main entrance for accessibility. This new facility, which will replace the outdated station from 1926, will provide modern, inclusive accommodations for firefighters while addressing broader community needs.
