1 Program Summary: A fire station for a volunteer fire department that houses four apparatus bays, a conference room, and a living quarters. Program Statement: The Village is one of the main gateways into Iberville Parish and lies to the west of Baton Rouge along Grosse Tete Bayou. Legend has it that the bayou s name, which means big head in French, was derived from a big-headed Choctaw Indian who lived and hunted in the area when it was first settled by Acadians. The Community is defined by its majestic live oaks, green pastures, front porches, and the grace of the bayou. A volunteer fire station is a place of living heroes people who risk their lives on a daily basis to save others. This station is an attempt to both honor and assist them in that critical and selfless work. Credit for the inception and realization of this project belongs solely to two men, the Fire Chief and the Mayor of the Village. The Village had the honor of being the sole recipient in Louisiana of funding under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the full construction of a new fire station. The new building is a replacement of the existing warehouse that stored the fire apparatus. It will fulfill the needs of the department as it responds to fires within the village and vehicular emergencies on the Basin Bridge all the way to Whiskey Bay. The form of the building references the many characteristics of the Village while strictly adhering to the programmatic needs of the fire chief. A Building Area: (sf) 9,205 sf Cost per Square Foot: $ Construction Cost $2,472, Date of Completion: July 2012
