In December, we blogged about construction starting on Apex Public Safety 5, along with a few other AFD project plans.

Located at 2050 Kelly Road, the 16,500 square-foot facility will house twelve firefighters, two paramedics, and the Community Services division of the police department.

It’s planned for completion in late summer. Here’s a drawing of the building, from project plans posted to town’s Public Facilities Projects page [link expired]. Looks sharp!

Some of the features of the facility:

• Three bays for apparatus
• Fourth bay for police, slightly shorter
• EMS storage, shop/tool room, decon room, laundry room
• Training platform in apparatus bays
• Eight sleeping rooms and four toilets in the dormitory
• Kitchen, dining area, day room, exercise room
• Office for fire officer
• Classroom with 32 seats
• Separate entrances, lobby spaces for fire station and police station
• Open office for police, with 11 workstations and a conference table
• Additional offices for police.
