Construction Update: FDNY Rescue Company 2 Training Facility
Southeast corner.
There is construction progress at Studio Gang's FDNY Rescue Company 2 Training Facility in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. The three-story structure will serve as a facility for the FDNY to simulate various scenarios encountered when responding to emergency calls. Large voids cut horizontally through the central ground floor space and vertically to the sky to allow for simulating a multitude of real world scenarios. Large apertures cut into the concrete facades will be accented by red glazed terracotta panels, which are currently being installed. Sustainable features include a green roof, geothermal HVAC system, and solar water-heating system.
