New Albany Fire Department Station No. 4

Residential in its scale, Station No. 4 presents a modern approach to the traditional and historic fire stations of the past.

The two drive-through apparatus bays provide service to the community and the City at large. The New Albany Fire Department Station No. 4 features overhead glass doors, transoms, and clerestory windows, framed below the metallic roof, provide the apparatus bays with natural light, and create transparency and illumination at night. The living quarters includes a social hub area with an open kitchen, dining & living space, and a fitness room. Unique to the station and the tallest portion of the building on the site, the hose drying tower proudly features the number “4”.
