CITY OF HARKER HEIGHTS CENTRAL FIRE STATION The City of Harker Heights selected the MRB Group Architecture team to design an expansion and renovation of the existing Central Fire Station in Harker Heights to address substantial population growth within the city limits, the fire department’s operational staff, and Central Station specifically.

CLIENT/LOCATION City of Harker Heights, Texas

The renovations included a new kitchen, a larger dining area, eight individual rooms for sleeping, four separate bathrooms, a new fitness center, and a new TV area with recliners.

In addition, a study area that can be converted into an additional bedroom if needed gives the fire station staff the option to expand.

PROJECT SIZE

The design equipped the rooms with separate alarms for fire and EMS that will gradually increase in volume until a crew member wakes up, eliminating jolting them awake.

PROJECT STATUS

New 7,000 sf Remodel 6,000 sf

Completed 2018

To withstand severe weather, an Emergency Operations Room that also functions as a Training Center for crew members has been fortified so that work can continue no matter the conditions outside. Emergency generators were installed to keep the station functioning at all times.

The redesign and expansion of this station bring a 30-year-old building to current codes and updates the facility’s technology and functionality.

The EOC is a stand-alone, fully operational emergency response center designed to withstand severe weather and accommodate up to 300 occupants, with additional sleeping quarters, showering facilities, and a full kitchen. The design also focused on preparedness, incorporating a backup generator, stand-alone internet technology infrastructure for security, as well as system redundancy to reduce interruption or failures.

GEORGETOWN COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER The Georgetown County Emergency Operations Center is a new 18,000-square-foot facility designed to strengthen the County’s emergency preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities. As part of a larger public safety campus, the facility serves as a centralized hub for disaster response coordination, emergency communications, and continuity of operations during critical events impacting the region.

MRB Group is providing comprehensive architectural and engineering design services to deliver a resilient, highly functional facility capable of supporting Georgetown County’s evolving public safety needs. The facility will include a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center (EOC), 911 dispatch and communications center, training and conference spaces, administrative offices, support areas, and secure infrastructure systems designed to remain operational during severe weather and emergency events. The command center will support real-time monitoring, interagency collaboration, and rapid decision-making, while flexible operational spaces allow the County to adapt to a variety of emergency scenarios, from hurricanes and flooding to large-scale public safety incidents.

CLIENT/LOCATION Georgetown County, South Carolina PROJECT SIZE 18,000 sf PROJECT STATUS In Concept Design Est. Completion Fall 2027

The building design incorporates redundant building systems and robust technology infrastructure to support uninterrupted operations during critical events. Durable exterior materials and a practical, efficient layout were selected to minimize maintenance requirements while providing a secure and long-lasting public facility. The building’s layout will support clear circulation, secure access control, and separation between public, administrative, and emergency response functions. Careful consideration was also given to staff wellness and comfort, recognizing the demanding nature of emergency response operations and the need for spaces that can support personnel during extended activation periods.

Through a collaborative and multidisciplinary design approach, the Georgetown County Emergency Operations Center is providing the County with a modern, resilient facility that enhances coordination, strengthens emergency response capabilities, and improves the community’s overall preparedness and public safety infrastructure.

CITY OF BUFFALO PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX MRB Group provided services that explored the construction of a new Public Safety Complex on the land to the north of the Buffalo City Hall on approximately 2 acres. These services included the Programmatic and Schematic Design to aid the City in the feasibility of the site for a new Public Safety Complex to house the Police Department, Municipal Court, and Fire Station. The City determined that due to the site constraints, Public Safety and Municipal Court would be the only facilities included in the new construction on the site.

After providing the Opinion of Probable Cost to the City, MRB was awarded Phase 2 services. These services included Architectural, Civil, MEP Engineering, and Topographical Surveying for the 5,800-square-foot building and site at an estimated cost of $1.625 million.

CLIENT/LOCATION City of Buffalo, Texas PROJECT SIZE 5,800 sf PROJECT STATUS Completed August, 2024

The design is a pre-engineered metal building with a stone and stucco façade similar in materials and stature to the existing building on the same site. The design includes two wings with a shared clerical/lobby space at the center. A new courtroom, judge’s chambers, and other support spaces are part of the Municipal Court area of the building.

The other half of the building is programmed for the police department’s use. The building is designed for a secure lobby with controlled access to other areas. At the rear of the building is an exercise room with toilet/shower facilities accessed by a secure lobby and corridor for after-hours use by city employees.

The site design includes parking around the new building and additional parking connecting to the existing city building. Attention to drainage was crucial with past flooding issues across the site. The parking also connects to the adjacent bank parking lot.
