The current layout of Fire Station 6 is not efficient for the firefighters or public. Uninviting and outdated bedrooms, kitchen, and female bathroom/locker area (which do not meet current codes), are separated by the fire engine therefore causing the need to cross the fire engine bay to shower, change, and/or cook.

Visitors frequent this facility which is home to the Livermore Centennial Light Bulb. The reception area is too small, and the entrance is not well marked. People must cross the fire engine driveway to enter the facility. In addition, the Centennial Light Bulb is located in the fire engine bay.

The project will include: 

• Bringing the station up to current codes and functionality for firefighters and the public,
• Expansion of the building to make room for a fully equipped west wing consisting of five relocated bedrooms to make room for an additional fire engine bay,
• A renovated lounge, kitchen, locker rooms and restrooms,
• Offices and visitor center in the east wing with the Centennial Light Bulb moved to the visitor center,
• A public parking lot and surface improvements next to the visitor center, and
• New HVAC system and roof.
