ECE were commissioned to design a new fire station for the local area of Newhaven. The project was part of an integrated joint project with East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, Sussex Police and Lewes District Council to promote shared working and deliver a range of public services to the residents of Newhaven.
The three storey building was formed using 3 interlocking volumes of brick, render & zinc cladding, representing the multiple functions & co-operative nature of the building.
The design team developed a BIM model using Revit from RIBA Stage 2. This assisted communicating the design to all Parties, particularly the stakeholders using the enhanced visual aspects of a 3D model. The team were able to develop the design details and coordinate the disciplines utilising the BIM.

It really is a building the whole team can be proud of and I am sure, once they have settled in… the crews too will also be proud to have as their new home.”
