The Academia Nacional de Bomberos (ANB) of Costa Rica is advancing their basic firefighter training with the goal of becoming certified as a parauniversitaria. Our project team helped the Bomberos achieve their goal by remodeling an existing classroom into a fully equipped laboratory for testing, demonstration and research. We determined regulations, potential suppliers, safety procedures, equipment, and created a design for a scientific laboratory that best fits the Bomberos’ needs and requirements while remaining under budget.
