Quincy, MA Fire Stations #1 and #5 Spatial Needs Study

Nestled along the eastern shores of Massachusetts, Quincy stands as a captivating coastal gem, brimming with history, culture, and natural beauty. Just a stone's throw from the bustling metropolis of Boston, Quincy offers a charming respite from the city's frenetic pace, while still providing easy access to its world-class attractions and amenities.

The city's allure lies in its rich tapestry of past and present, where historic landmarks intertwine seamlessly with modern development. Once a thriving shipbuilding hub, Quincy played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, earning it the moniker "City of Presidents" for birthing two of the nation's chief executives: John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams.

The city of Quincy has several fire stations, none of which were constructed less than 30 years ago. Station #1 was constructed in 1938 and underwent several remodeling efforts over the year to accommodate larger fire apparatus and ancillary vehicles. The floor could not handle the extra weight of new apparatus so extensive shoring was necessary. CPS was retained by Quincy to undertake a space needs study for Station #1 and Station #5. 

Station #1 will be adaptively reused for other purposes with a new pull-through fire station to be constructed across the street and station #5 is anticipated to be demolished and a new modern station to replace it at the same location.
