Concept:
To explore first responder’s needs and wants within an outreach facility. Research states that first responders would be interested in lounge environments for co-worker interactions and a space for physical activity to balance the battles within. In developing this concept of an outreach facility, it acts as a 3rd place to relax in privacy and allows freedom from the chaos of emergency calls all while being surrounded by common branches who are overcoming the same struggles. Multiple amenities such as, a volunteer sector, conference room, living area, a gym, a library and game room give first responders the opportunity to decompress while
recovering.
