Station 27 and the Hamner/Schleisman Community Center

The County of Riverside Department of Facilities Management Riverside has proposed the acquisition of property for and the subsequent construction and operation of Fire Station 27 and the Hamner/Schleisman Community Center. Fire Station 27 has been analyzed as a Heavy Urban Fire Station. Heavy Urban Fire Stations are staffed by 16 people and have approximately 6,500 square feet of interior space, which includes living areas, offices, and a lobby. Heavy Urban Stations have three bays for fire fighting vehicles, which include one or more Type 1 Engines (a three-person engine company), squads (e.g. Series F-450, F-500 trucks), and in some instances a ladder truck, and/or an ambulance unit assigned to it. The Hamner/Schleisman Community Center consists of a 15,000-20,000 interior square feet Community Center building which, among other activities, will provide day care and preschool services for a maximum of 200 children. The interior space will include 11 classrooms, restrooms, a large kitchen, a staff lounge, conference/training room, community rooms, indoor storage, closets, office, and lobby. The Community Center proposes an approximately 15,000 square foot playground area plus exterior storage and parking. The Community Center will have a total staff of 39 for the day care/preschool operation plus an additional six staff members working in the office and kitchen.
