Environmentally friendly materials, community-focused design and renewable energy combine in Tsha’ thoñswatha’, the Onondaga Nation’s new fire station. Designed by Syracuse-based Ashley McGraw Architects in close collaboration with the Nation community, the new building replaced an old, corroded firehouse and added a community hall in Onondaga County, New York. The building, which was designed to meet net-zero energy standards, was constructed by local community members.
