The facility also includes dispatch rooms; living quarters and kitchen; and a workout room. The new station follows sustainable site practices, such as erosion and sedimentation control, encouraging alternative transportation with bicycle storage and carpooling and electrical connectivity for hybrid/electric vehicles, stormwater management and treatment, light pollution reduction, and reduction of the heat island with reflective roofing and paving. Native, water-efficient landscaping and innovative irrigation limits the use of potable water for the site.
