About the San Jose Fire Training Center & Emergency Operations Center

The design for the San José Fire Training Center replaces critical but overcrowded and outdated facilities with architecturally pleasing, inherently green, and functionally efficient buildings fit for the demanding services they’ll house. The project re-imagines three distinct spaces: Fire Department Training, Offices of Emergency Management, and the Emergency Operations Center, each with unique programmatic requirements.

Encompassing 75,900 square feet and 6.5 acres, the project includes a new two-story fire training building, a six-story fire training tower and training grounds. A new Emergency Operations Center, training rooms, and administrative space for the Office of Emergency Management are also included in the project. Construction is expected to be complete in 2022.
