Nabholz Construction has broken ground on a new fire station, training facility and bowling alley in Sedalia, Missouri.
The facilities were designed by Hoefer Welker. The 8,585-square-foot fire station will replace the previous facility and feature a three-bay fire apparatus facility with six bunk rooms, a dayroom and a fitness room.
The station will be built with a hot zone design approach, decreasing firefighters’ exposure to smoke, carcinogens and toxic chemicals. It will also have a dedicated gear decontamination area and advanced air pressurization and thermal comfort systems.
Adjacent to the fire station, a 2,749-square-foot fire training facility will house two fire apparatus bays, a workshop and restrooms. A separately designed burn tower will serve as a comprehensive classroom.
The project also includes an 18,775-square-foot, 16-lane bowling alley with a commercial kitchen and e-sports center.
