FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff will begin demolition of the former Montalvo Fire Station Two, located at 2230 E. Spruce Avenue, on Oct. 27, 2025, with work scheduled for completion by Nov. 11, 2025. The demolition, performed by Loven Contracting, Inc., marks the first major step toward construction of the Montalvo Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Community Center.
Demolition activities may cause temporary noise, dust, and minor traffic disruptions in the surrounding neighborhood. Loven Contracting and the City will implement safety and dust control measures to minimize impacts to nearby residents and businesses. Work hours are scheduled from Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sidewalks around the parcel will be open, but pedestrians should use caution.
The current fire station has a mosaic located on the side of the structure. While it was not possible to retain this mosaic, a new mosaic inspired by the original design will be created and installed as part of the future Montalvo STEM Education Community Center, maintaining a visual connection to the site’s history.
The city is committed to repairing and improving our infrastructure in Flagstaff and keeping residents informed on the status of the program. For further inquiries, please contact our Project Manager, Jarrett Nelson Jarrett.nelson@flagstaff.gov
