For thirty years Rubio Medina, Architect has worked in public safety design. His first project when beginning his career was a fire station or the City of West Covina. Fire station design has changed tremendously since that first station as departments become more sophisticated and more female fire fighters enter the work force. Rubio Medina, Architect has been on the forefront of these changes needs providing designs that are attractive, fit into the settings they are built, functional, and easily maintained.
Rubio’s experience includes fire stations, police stations, emergency operations centers (EOC), and fire training centers completing multiple designs, studies, assessments, and programming efforts. Station settings include urban, suburban, industrial, residential, and 0 lot line locations.
Public restrooms are no longer the dark, intimidating facility in the corner of a park, beach, or other open space. As our focus has become more family friendly open spaces to spend time with our kids, peers, families, and loved ones so too must the facilities that serve them be more family focused, inviting, and most importantly give feeling of safety.
Rubio Medina, Architect has designed multiple public restroom facilities including public restrooms serving community centers, nature, centers, and outreach facilities. The focus is on marque designs that are sturdy, easily maintained, and can stand to the rigors of harsh public use.
Facility assessment is a way of taking a snapshot of the current state and disrepair of city owned facilities. It assists city’s, districts, and fire department’s with establishing long range plans, prioritize maintenance items, identifies long range issues, and assists in the decision to replace facilities that are no longer viable long term.
