Andover BallardVale Opens New Fire Station
/Andover BallardVale’s Historic District new Fire Station has a three bay apparatus garage that replaces the old one bay station and a new modern crew quarters along with a training room (tripling the capacity of the existing conditions). Context Architecture worked closely with the town’s historic district committee in order to integrate the new station into the town’s historical environment.
Context also provided significant input into the public approvals process, attending dozens of public meetings. Our team worked hard to ensure that the Town was well-informed, the tight-knit Ballardvale neighborhood felt listened, and the project successfully passed Town Meeting.
“We're in a position to better serve this area of the community in south Andover in a way that we haven't been able to do in the past few years. Now we have lots of space to house much more equipment and free up space in our other two stations so they aren't so cramped”, adds Chief Michael Mansfield.
