at the Sparta National Guard complex. This fire station will be approximately
9,500 s.f. including vehicle bays, offices, classrooms, locker
rooms, and storage areas. The design of the building was also

on the Department
of Defense’s SPiRiT guidelines, which parallel the U.S. Green Building
Council’s LEED requirements. The construction documents for this
project are being used by the University of Purdue to teach their
Construction Management program.
The Robert N. Brewer Family Foundation, Herrin, IL
