City of North Las Vegas Fire Station #52
Architect(s): Carpenter Sellers Associates
Address: 4110 Losee Rd.
Year: 1995

This striking 15,000 square-foot fire station is located in a light commercial and industrial section of North Las Vegas. One of the project's challenges was offering a design that was architecturally prominent yet could be expanded in the future if needed. Another challenge was designing a functional fire station that could eventually be used for commercial purposes one day. The bold forms drew inspiration from past fire stations, fire-fighting equipment, and commercial and industrial architecture of the area. The colors were selected to complement the desert palette and reflect the predominantly Hispanic heritage of the neighborhood. The building materials are stainless steel, steel, concrete, wood and corrugated metal.
