Villa Park Fire Station 82 Renovation , Villa Park, IL
The existing facility, located at 338 N. Iowa in Villa Park, was originally constructed as a school in 1963. It was later repurposed as a recreation center for the Village of Villa Park, serving in that capacity until 2025. Following the Villages relocation, the building underwent minor renovations to accommodate its current use as a temporary fire station. As the facility was not originally designed for long-term fire service operations, it presents several limitations related to layout, building systems, and code compliance. The Village seeks to: Evaluate the current condition and overall suitability of the existing structure Identify both current and future operational needs Determine whether renovation, expansion, or a combination of both represents the most effective solution Develop a design that aligns with modern fire station standards, supports current operations, and allows for potential future expansion
