Student Center

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Size 65,000 sf

Owner Colorado Mountain College

Design H+L Architecture



This majestic multi-purpose academic and administrative center serves as the center piece of the College. Carefully integrated into the side of a steep slope, this state-of-the-art building configured over three stories presents technologically advanced classroom space, auditoriums and student gathering components as well as many of the offices and services required for campus administration. The heart of the design is an expansive glass curtain wall and outdoor patio environment combining sweeping views with regionally appropriate building materials to create a sense of place and pride. The scope of work included the addition of a public road and related public utility improvements further connecting the new facility to the surrounding municipal interests. The improvements to public infrastructure greatly increased the need for a comprehensive process of identifying stakeholders within City of Steamboat Springs and neighborhood interests.

Theatre Renovation

Fort Collins, Colorado

Size 20,000 sf

Owner Colorado State University

Design Aller Lingle Massey Architects PC

GoldLEED



The project consisted of the renovation to the existing historical Lory Student Center Theater on the Main Campus of Colorado State University. The existing 20,000-sf, post-tension poured in place concrete structure went from a raked seating theater, to a flat floor multi-purpose space, increasing seating capacity to 605-seats. The existing post-tension balcony was completely removed to accommodate the new flat floor that was built up to the elevation of the existing lobby. The north storefront wall of the lobby was moved out to the north, but held under the existing roof structure. The mechanical and electrical was also upgraded. The outline and natural colors found in the rock formations around Horsetooth Reservoir emerged as a favorite design concept that guided the interior design decisions. Sustainable design principles and universal access were fundamental to every discussion.

Owner Fort Lewis College




The design and construction of Berndt Biology Hall involved demolishing the central core of a single-story structure and rebuilding in-place a new three-level 32,000-sf addition while the two extant sections of the building remained in use. A severely constrained site, centrally located on an active college campus and the need to work around and maintain existing building systems in disjointed sections of the former building required extensive communication and teamwork between the College, A&P and the design team. The building program features a combination of traditional college classroom and office facilities as well as highly specialized laboratory facilities to accommodate agriculture, botany, genetics, herbarium, microbiology, physiology, zoology and anatomy.

The 74,000-sf, three-story Academic Partnership Center (APC) building was constructed in 14 months. The 27 classrooms and 3 office suites are operated by Normandale College in collaboration with other colleges and universities within the MnSCU system. The APC was one of the first major projects completed under the new CM@R process allowed by MnSCU. This project required the connection to the newly renovated Kopp Student Center. A&P used driven piling and connected all mechanical and electrical systems to the main portion of campus without disrupting operations. The unique structural design was supported on 476 driven piling and the slab on grade was supported by rammed aggregate piers (GeoPier). The A&P team determined this to be the most cost effective solution and allowed for the future flexibility the College wanted in lieu of a structural slab. The building was completed on time and under the initial GMP submitted, allowing project dollars to be returned to the owner.

Design Burns & McDonnell Engineer Co., Inc



The NOvA Far Detector Facility is a new international physics laboratory, and the site of an upcoming experiment that will help scientists understand the origins of the universe. The experiment, which begins collecting data in 2013, will involve the study of neutrinos, subatomic particles that are among the fundamental building blocks of matter. The construction of the detector facility involved many unique logistical challenges related to the remote project site and the huge, very specialized equipment required for the experiment. The project involved building a 3.5-mile access road and supplying power to the isolated project site, blasting 40 feet into the granite to create a football field-sized space for the detector enclosure and, finally, building the massive 350-foot-long concrete facility. BIM technology was critical in identifying logistical and scheduling issues, demonstrating how the complex building components would fit together, and designing a real-time communication plan for stakeholders. A unique application of BIM technology led to the development of 3D laser scanning, which helped minimize layout time for excavation.
