Construction on the new facility began in early 2022 following Austin City Council action to build five new stations throughout the city.
"In 2018, I was proud to set an ambitious goal of opening five stations in six years. Through a pandemic and several budget cycles, I've worked with [AFD], [ATCEMS], Austin Public Works and my council colleagues to champion the allocation of funds for station construction and staffing," District 10 Council Member Alison Alter said.
The new station sits on 1.6 acres of land and is more than 13,000 square feet to accommodate the four apparatuses, 14 dorm rooms, a fitness room, a kitchen and more for the staff.
