Remsen Firehouse Visitor Center & Museum

DIGroupArchitecture developed an active reuse of a decommissioned firehouse to create a new fireman’s museum and community center. In order to maximize the use of the existing building for program space, a new addition houses a new access/exit stair from the second floor, elevator for handicapped access, toilet facilities and a small area for office space.

The first floor contains a reception desk, director’s office, staff workroom, and instructional kitchen with direct access to Suydam Street for deliveries. The second floor is occupied by the City of New Brunswick Fire Department as a meeting area and museum for their fine collection of artifacts. Signage and wayfinding design was completed to direct visitors from point of entry and throughout the museum spaces.
