The new $9.5-million Mastic Beach Ambulance Company headquarters, located in Mastic Beach, New York, has recently been completed. The project team included general contractor Stalco Construction; architect, site engineer and construction manager L.K. McLean Associates; mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer Nelson & Pope and structural engineer TDM Consulting Engineers.
The new two-story structure totals 18,000 square feet. It is located on a 1.2-acre site that includes new access driveways, an 18,000-square foot parking lot, green areas landscaped with low-maintenance grass and shrubs, exterior lighting, a flag pole and signage. Construction crews installed new drainage and sanitary systems, and built new water and electrical connections to the building.
The ambulance company hosts a vibrant youth squad, monthly training sessions for members and a variety of public classes, including first aid, mental health first aid and CPR. The new facility allows it to greatly expand interactions with the public and to become a hub for public safety in the community.
Despite its stylistic residential references, the design incorporates only non-combustible materials, such as light-gauge metal exterior and interior wall systems with fire-rated gypsum board walls, concrete floors, steel internal stairs, fiber-reinforced plastic exterior doors and insulated steel doors. Complying with the New York State building codes, the structure was designed to meet environmental efficiency requirements similar to those of the LEED system, although the building did not apply for the official LEED certification. The new facility is fully accessible and ADA-compliant.
