Andover Ballardvale Fire Station

About

Location: Andover, MA
Size: 11,400 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2021

The new station in Ballardvale’s Historic District has a three-bay apparatus garage that replaces the old one-bay station, with new crew quarters and a training room (tripling the capacity of the existing conditions). The design team also worked closely with the Town’s Historic District Committee to integrate the new station into the Town’s historical environment.

Context’s services also included significant involvement with the public approvals process - attending dozens of public meetings to provide information about the project. Our team worked hard to make sure that the Town was well-informed. The tight-knit Ballardvale neighborhood felt listened to, and the project successfully passed Town Meeting.
