Size & Structure: The building will be about 18,500 sq ft with three fire bays and two ambulance bays to support 24/7 operations for both fire and paramedic crews. 

Optimized Layout: The station will be purpose-built to enable quicker dispatch, improve emergency response times, and serve as a contemporary hub for training, operations, and community readiness. 

Modern, Sustainable Design: The station is being designed to achieve LEED Silver certification for energy efficiency and sustainability. 

State-of-the-Art Spaces: It will include modern crew facilities, space for equipment, improved response dispatch capabilities, and room for training and operations planning.

Construction Phase

Construction of the new Joint Fire and Paramedic Station has entered the main building phase. Most of the underground site servicing work has been completed, with the remaining service connections being finalized alongside building construction.

Work is now focused on building the structure itself, including the steel framework, floor and roof decking, exterior masonry walls, underground building services, and the building's exterior enclosure.

This marks an important milestone for the project, as the station is now becoming visible above ground and several construction trades are working on site at the same time. Over the coming months, crews will continue advancing the building through coordinated structural, mechanical, electrical, masonry, and exterior building work.

Construction activity remains ongoing throughout the site, with the project team coordinating work to maintain progress and keep the project moving efficiently into the next stage.

York Region and the Town of Stouffville are building safer, stronger and more resilient communities for today and for generations to come. Construction will be led by Pegah Construction Limited, with architectural design by Thomas Brown Architects Inc.

The total project cost is approximately $14.5 million, with funding shared between the Town and the Region. Substantial completion is expected in fall 2027. 

Progress Update:

• Structural steel installation is nearing completion, with the main building frame expected to be substantially complete by the beginning of Fall 2026.
• Installation of the metal roof and floor decking is scheduled to begin within the coming week and continue into early Fall 2026.
• Construction of the exterior masonry walls is underway and will continue through early Fall 2026 as the building envelope takes shape.
• Waterproofing work is underway on exterior foundation and masonry wall areas to help protect the building from moisture.
• Construction of the parapets (the portions of wall extending above the roofline) is scheduled to begin in early Fall 2026.
• Remaining site servicing and underground infrastructure work will continue and be coordinated with ongoing building construction activities.

Residents can expect to see the building's structure and exterior walls continue to grow over the coming weeks. Activity on site will remain visible as multiple construction teams work concurrently to advance the project toward the next phase of construction.
