McKinney Opens $53 Million, 40,000-Square-Foot Fire Administration Campus

McKinney officially opened a new 40,000-square-foot Fire Administration Building at 2100 Taylor Burk Drive, creating a centralized hub for the McKinney Fire Department and emergency operations. The facility anchors a $53 million fire headquarters campus that city leaders say will strengthen coordination across public safety agencies and improve response during large-scale emergencies and severe weather.

The City of McKinney’s news release lists Feb. 2, 2026 as the official opening date. Some local coverage referenced a Sunday opening; the city’s announcement is the primary source for the official date. The building sits directly east of the McKinney Public Safety Building and houses approximately 40 employees from fire administration, emergency management, training, emergency medical services and the Fire Marshal’s office. It also contains the city’s Emergency Operations Center, which the city describes as enhancing McKinney’s ability to coordinate response efforts during emergencies.

The new campus includes two additional components: a 20,000-square-foot Fire Logistics Center and a 16,000-square-foot Fire Station No. 2. The logistics center provides office space, warehouse storage for equipment and medical supplies, and dedicated areas for equipment maintenance. Fire Station No. 2 replaces the city’s busiest, nearly 30-year-old station and is designed to better serve the community and support firefighters. Together the three buildings total 76,000 square feet of new public safety space.

Funding for the $53 million campus comes from voter-approved bond funds included in a 2019 $350 million bond package, which allocated $75 million to public safety projects. The project was designed and built by McKinney-based Pogue Construction in collaboration with Martinez Architects, Gensler and 720 Design, according to local reporting.

Operational effects begin immediately. With fire administration relocated to the new campus, the McKinney Police Department will expand operations within the existing McKinney Public Safety Building, freeing space and allowing departmental realignment. City officials say the move will further strengthen coordination, efficiency and security across departments while keeping pace with city growth.

For residents, the campus promises more centralized emergency planning, dedicated supply and maintenance capacity, and a modern replacement for an aging, high-use station—changes that can translate into steadier response capacity during storms and other incidents. City leaders have framed the project as a long-term investment in public safety; officials expect to provide additional details on occupancy and ongoing operations as the campus transitions to full use.
