Bird’s design initiatives have included the installation of insulation inside the beams to increase energy efficiency within the fire hall and the use of an alternate integral concrete hardener - all of these contributions have reflected a positive impact on the constructability, durability, schedule and cost of the project. Construction also involved sustainable design principles including solar power and permeable paver parking stalls that will improve the energy efficiency of the building.
