The existing 10,000sf decommissioned City of Detroit fire house was built in 1917. It was purchased by the University of Detroit Mercy to renovate and restore for their Law Clinics Program. The LEED Silver Certified Project included repurposing of the first and second floor for offices, conference rooms, and student work areas. New mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were installed, as well as fire suppression throughout the facility. Exterior restoration included masonry and stone tuck-pointing, new historically accurate windows and doors, and recreation of the original red fire doors.
