Renovation of a fire / police facility in Lawrence, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

The expansion of a Fire Medical station to improve emergency services to the entire City of Lawrence. The station expansion would provide more effective response coverage to areas not currently capable of receiving benchmark response times, and improve service quality to the entire City. The land purchased should be of a size to account for the building, adequate parking for employees and guests, and a drivethrough bay for emergency vehicles. Backing into an apparatus bay from the street can be dangerous for the community and firefighters. The station design should include adequate space for both fire trucks and ambulances, training space, and other building features consistent with other City Fire Medical stations. The cost for design is projected at seven percent of the construction cost. As of June 24, 2025, this project is included in the City of Lawrence's FY 2025-2029 CIP.
