The Rescue Company 2 is  a Fire House in Brooklyn, new York designed by architect Jeanne Gang and constructed in 2019. This structure is being highlighted as it reveals a portion of Jeanne Gang’s designing process.

In Brooklyn, the first-responders are trained in various emergency scenarios such as fires, building collapses, and water rescues. Many of these scenarios involve voids; thus, a void was designed as the center of Rescue Company 2. The large interior void extends from the ground floor to the roof level and allows the team to train in scenarios which mimic conditions within the city.

In addition to providing access to accurate training scenarios, the buildings design also improves quality of everyday life as it allows the access of natural light and fresh air into the living quarters.

All in all, the Rescue Company 2 building is another Jeanne Gang project which involves a multi-use structure which far exceeds its intended purpose.
