Crystal City Fire Station #5
17 12 2007
The Aurora Hills Fire Station No. 5 on Hayes St in Crystal City is so close to being finished, and it’s about time! The new station has been in the making for the last 4 years since the County Board decided to relocate.
And even though it has taken a long time, we think it has been well worth the wait. The design looks great, but as the saying goes, “it’s not what’s on the outside, but what’s on the inside that counts.” So the best part is that the building is being designed to meet the “LEED” (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards of the United States Green Buildings Council.
Not content to sit on their laurels, the Arlington County Board just last week reaffirmed its decision to build a new Fire Station No. 3 on the back of the Koons Arlington Toyota site on Lee Highway in Cherrydale. This last Station will complete a full renovation of the Counties Fire and Rescue buildings.
What’s that? You want more construction photos?
