New Campus-Area Fire Station No. 2

planned

The city of Ames is planning a new campus-area fire station to modernize public safety coverage near Iowa State University. The project involves relocating Fire Station No. 2 from its current constrained site on Welch Avenue to a new campus-edge site west of State Avenue. The new facility will feature modern design elements, multiple apparatus bays, and be "net zero ready" to accommodate future renewable energy systems. The project includes early design advisory work, site analysis, and conceptual design, with plans for detailed architectural and engineering design in subsequent phases. Financing is expected to be supported by a bond referendum.
