Mattapoisett Fire Headquarters
About
Location: Mattapoisett, MA
Size: 16,845 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2022
This new Fire Headquarters replaces Mattapoisett’s 1952 3-bay 1-1/2 stories station. The present station was unable to house an apparatus and did not provide adequate living and sleeping facilities. Through the programming phase, Context was able to design a facility that provided all the program needs for the department, while staying within the town’s budget.
The design utilized the flatter portions of the site and reconstructed the contours to allow for a drive-through five-bay apparatus room while maintaining a site and landscape design well suited to Mattapoisett’s natural landscape. Situated on a prominent street, County Rd., the station is designed with its front entrance facing Hubbard’s Way, a neighborhood street.
