Rendering of the Greenpoint EMS
The Fire Department of New York is building an Emergency Medical Service facility to serve the Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods, Fast Company reported. The agency hired Michielli + Wyetzner, a small Manhattan-based architecture firm, to design a glassy two-story, 10,400-square-foot complex that will house four vehicles, vehicle support, and EMS offices, along with a lounge, fitness center and storage space. Construction is underway at the 332 Metropolitan Avenue site near Roebling Street, and the building is slated to open in August 2012. [Fast Company via Brownstoner]
