Round Rock will receive a new fire station, the third funded by 2023 voter-approved bonds, following City Council’s approval of an architectural design contract for the project at its June 12 meeting. Fire Station 11 is planned for north of the Ascension Seton Williamson hospital, according to city documents.
The details
The new fire station will follow the same design as Fire Station 1 and 10, the other two funded by the 2023 general obligation bonds. Round Rock City Council awarded McKinney York Architects the $372,000 design contract following the firm's work on the previous two stations.
One new feature of Fire Station 11 is the addition of a police satellite office. The office will be about 800 square feet, Director of General Services Chad McDowell said, and will have a separate access point than the rest of the station.
The satellite office provides a smaller secondary location for officers to work and collaborate.
One more thing
Fire Station 11 will be location at the intersection of A.W. Grimes Boulevard and University Boulevard, on the north side of Ascension Seton Williamson’s property. The total project cost is estimated at $10.5 million, according to city documents.
