Roundhouse Design
The City of Dallas Fire Station No. 40 incorporates a ground-breaking “Roundhouse” Apparatus Bay design. The unique Roundhouse design serves two functions: 1) The arc shaped Apparatus Bay provides trapezoidal shaped truck bays which result in additional staging and dressing area where it is needed between apparatus cabs for fire fighters’ boots and gear. 2) The radial facade provides extended visibility to the public of the station’s multi-million dollar fire fighting apparatus.
Outdoor Classrooms
Tarleton State University’s primary goal for this SMART Classroom, Lecture Hall, Movement Science and Media Convergence Lab facility was that it become a benchmark for state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor collaborative education. At the core of RSA’s design are fifteen indoor and four outdoor collaboration spaces in addition to four 100 person lecture halls and three 25 person multi-purpose breakout rooms. The facility contains 40 faculty offices and a one-of-a-kind Media Convergence Lab.
Adaptive Modern Learning
RSA’s design reestablished this 1917 historic facility which possessed important social collateral, into an economically viable and vibrant campus asset. The innovative design sought to honor the building’s intrinsic and residual value by revitalizing the facility with state-of-the-art learning spaces. Achieving… 1) The need for modern academic, research and faculty office facilities while preserving the emotional capital of its alumni 2) today’s funding challenges and 3) the historic, adaptive reuse of its nonconforming building assets.
