McCarthy Building Companies broke ground on the $5.5-million College of Southern Nevada Fire Station and Instructional Center. The project, a joint venture between the City of Las Vegas Fire & Rescue and the College of Southern Nevada, will serve a dual purpose in providing the city with a much needed working fire station and the college with classroom space for its Fire Science Program students.
McCarthy is serving as construction manager at risk on the 15,400-sq-ft building, located on the southwest corner of the campus. It will house Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Station 6, as well as 4,600 sq ft of classroom space for CSN, Las Vegas Fire & Rescue training and professional development sessions when not in use by the college.
