WestEast’s Joey Nguyen Wins SAMCA Silver Trowel Award for San Marcos Fire Station No. 6

June 23, 2025

We’re proud to share that WestEast Design Group’s Joey Nguyen has been honored with the 2025 Silver Trowel Award in the Government & Institutional category by the San Antonio Masonry Contractors Association (SAMCA). This award recognizes excellence in masonry construction throughout the San Antonio area and is judged by a panel of architects and contractors from outside the region. Joey was recognized for his outstanding work on the City of San Marcos Fire Station No. 6—a modern facility that elevates the standard for municipal design through craftsmanship, resilience, and community-centered planning.

Located on the city’s east side, Fire Station No. 6 was designed to support both present and future emergency response needs. The 13,000-square-foot facility features three apparatus bays, dedicated spaces for firefighter training, and a masonry-forward exterior that balances civic identity with functionality. From its durable materials to its efficient layout, the station reflects the City of San Marcos’ investment in safety and growth. Congratulations to Joey and the entire project team on this well-earned recognition!
