In the first quarter of FY 2009-10, the Florence Firestone Service Center hit one of its major milestones, reaching the 80% completion mark.  Continuing on this pace will ensure that the project is 100% complete by its goal of January 2010.  The 34-year old Florence Firestone Service Center is being completely renovated using funds from the First and Second Supervisorial Districts.  Renovations on the two-story 15,000 square foot County building include adding a colorful steel canopy announcing the new entrance and allowing for direct circulation from the parking area into the building.  The design provides a generous lobby, new reception areas, a staff lunchroom, a conference room, and a remodeled kitchen. 

The new building layout, designed by the CDC’s Senior Architect, Jeffrey Biben, repositions the offices allowing for maximum efficiency.  Additionally, a 1,376 square foot single-story addition has been included to provide a new exercise room and lounge for seniors.  The building is being equipped with features such as:

-Energy efficient HVAC equipment;
-Water conserving plumbing fixtures;
-Updated lighting;
-New telecommunications systems and security cameras; and
-New furnishings.

Building finishes have been selected that include recycled content and natural materials.  Water collection barrels have been placed to capture rainwater to be used for landscape irrigation.
