Coast Guard Museum

The new National Coast Guard Museum is currently under construction in New London, Connecticut, and is poised to become a prominent cultural and educational destination.

Engine 17 Dorchester

Code Red Consultants provided Fire Protection, Life Safety, and Accessibility Code Consulting services to Annum Architects for the BFD Engine 17 project in Dorchester, MA. Situated on historic Meetinghouse Hill, Engine 17 is only the second ground-up new firehouse built in Boston in over 40 years. The new, approximately 18,000 GSF facility was constructed on a former parking lot adjacent to the existing firehouse. This project holds special meaning for our team, as public safety lies at the heart of our mission and remains a constant priority in our commitment to giving back to the community.

Annum’s ground-up design incorporated energy-efficient boilers, two apparatus bays, second-floor spaces with an open-concept kitchen and dayroom, a fitness area, lockers, sleeping quarters, and office spaces. Large windows introduce natural light into key program areas, creating a bright, welcoming environment. The exterior features brick and stone to complement the surrounding neighborhood.

The design phase was completed in 2020/2021, and construction was completed in September 2024. This project was a collaboration between the Boston Fire Department and the City of Boston Public Facilities Department.
