City of Austin Canyon Creek Fire + EMS Station

The Canyon Creek Fire and EMS Station represents the final installment in a series of five facilities commissioned by the City of Austin, distinguished by its unique architectural expression while integrating successful elements from its predecessors.

The design of the exterior reflects a commitment to a prominent civic identity, aligning with the city’s sustainability objectives and the local architectural vernacular. Situated adjacent to a residential area, the station is anchored by a limestone facade along Highway 620. Its dynamic roof design not only offers substantial shading for the building but also incorporates a designated space for the integration of solar panels.

Functionally, the station is engineered for continuous 24-hour operation and features an array of amenities including 14 sleep rooms, a 1,200-square-foot kitchen and dayroom, a training room, a fitness facility with direct outdoor access, shaded exterior lounge areas, four back-in apparatus bays, and an integrated fueling station.

Features include:

1. New 13,400-square-foot Fire + EMS station

2. On-site fueling station

3. Four back-in apparatus bays
