New ARFF Facility
Though the economic times have been tough, Garver weathered the storm well and its 10 different service markets have continued their period of growth. Not the least of which is Garver's Facilities Design Team, which has recently added two more architects to its staff.
Garver's Facilities Design Team has historically focused on federal projects, but has now expanded to provide building design expertise for clients in the federal, public and private sectors.
"Our niche at Garver is to bring all aspects of building design to the table," said Facilities Design Director John Watkins. "Our team is as multi-disciplined as they come. We provide civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and architectural design for a wide variety of project types and clients."
"Continuing to add to our already talented and experienced team brings together an even larger collection of diverse project experiences, which benefits the work we're doing at Garver," said Director of Architecture Greg Archer.

The 9,900-square-feet facility, certified LEED Gold with the U.S. Green Building Council, features a three-bay 5,500-square-feet apparatus building for the firefighting vehicles and equipment and a 4,400-square-feet residential/office wing for the six-man crew manning the facility.
Garver provided multidisciplined design services for a new LEED Gold certified fire station and air operations, training, and administration facility. The 9,900-square-feet facility serves as a round-the-clock workplace and home for a rotating crew, features a three-bay, 5,500-square-feet building for firefighting vehicles and equipment, as well as a 4,400-square feet residential and office wing. Two 8,000-feet by 150-feet runways, parallel connector taxiways, and a parking apron for an adjacent airfield received full-depth concrete replacement or partial-depth repairs, new airfield pavement markings, and airfield lighting updates. The completed design-build project offers sustainable facilities and improved airfield functions to support training and operations for the new T-6A Texan II training mission aircraft.
