A broader mill-inspired design concept shapes Central Pierce Fire Station 63, a facility created to house a fire engine, a paramedic unit, and crew living and support spaces. Sustainability, durability, and integration with that architectural concept informed the metal panel selection, connecting the station’s operational purpose with a considered material palette.

AEP Span’s Nu-Wave® Corrugated metal wall panels in Burnt Rust introduce a warm contrast to other metal surfaces while coordinating with wood accents. Span-Lok™ hp also features in the project’s metal selection. The corrugated profile and weathered-look finish reinforce the mill-inspired character, giving the fire station an exterior that balances its working role with a distinctive architectural identity
