Building Notes
The Miller Hull.com web site indicated that lessons learned designing the high-performance building envelope of the Bullitt Center went into the design of Mercer Island Fire Department #92: "Designed in the wake of the Bullitt Center, this fire station was seen as an opportunity to integrate state-of-the-art, but low cost sustainable design strategies. One of the simplest and most cost efficient ways of saving energy is to design an airtight building envelope. Lessons learned on envelope design from the Bullitt Center were applied here, resulting in a measured infiltration rate of 0.1cm/sf, a 75% reduction from code allowed levels and providing enhanced thermal comfort for the firefighters." (See Miller Hull Partnership.com, "Be Bold: Remove Clutter," accessed 10/10/2020.)
The Mercer Island Fire Station #92, 2nd Station, received many awards: American Institute of Architects (AIA), National Honor Award, 2018; AIA, Seattle Chapter, Merit Award, 2015; AIA, Northwest and Pacific Region, Merit Award, 2016; AIA, Washington State Council, Civic Design Honor Award, 2016; Fire Industry Education Resource Organization (FIERO), Fire Station Design Award, 2016; Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Award, 2016.
