Natick Fire Station Wins Design Award

NATICK, MA — A Natick fire station is getting awards for not what they do to save lives and property, but for the design of the station itself.

The award comes from the American Institute of Architects New York State, which recently announced the recipients of the 2024 AIANYS Design Awards.

In total, 29 projects received recognition across 14 categories, including Adaptive Reuse/Historic Preservation, Commercial/Industrial, Institutional, Interiors, International, Pro Bono Projects, Residential, Small Firms, Unbuilt and Urban Planning and Design.

Citations, Merit Awards, and Honor Awards were bestowed upon the most outstanding submissions.

Among those to receive awards were the team behind the West Natick Fire Station #4, which won an award in the “Institutional” category. Tecton Architects, P.C. in Hartford, Connecticut, was the Architect of Record while H2M architects + engineers, who have offices in Troy and Long Island, provided the firematic design.

From among the 29 award-winning projects, the jury selected the "Best of the Best," which will be revealed at a virtual awards ceremony on February 6.
