SKA, Swinerton Celebrate LEED Gold Oakland Fire Station 18
The community of East Oakland and the Oakland Fire Department, along with City Councilwoman Jean Quan, recently gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new Fire Station 18. The ceremony was attended by the crew of Fire Station 18, members of the local community, and the architect and general contractor SKA and Swinerton.
Located at a highly visible, busy thoroughfare in Central East Oakland, Fire Station 18 provides an important new landmark for this mixed-use working class neighborhood. As the first LEED certified fire station in Oakland, Fire Station 18 also represents a major sustainability milestone for the city.
