The Avery Brewing Companies new 96,000-square-foot, two-story, world-class brewery features eight fermenters, one grain tower, one spent grain silo, office space, a restaurant, gift shop, beer garden, tap room and a lab accompanied by a sensory-depravation tasting room. At the facility’s heart is the brew house, which is inclusive of the brewing and packaging process (e.g., malt handling, yeast separator, bottling, etc.). Avery’s production capacity will double, boosting annual barrelage to 200,000 and then to a potential 500,000 barrels in the years to come.
The name says it all the Triangle Building. With uniquely complex architecture and tight site logistics, the Triangle Building project demanded both innovative solutions and good old-fashioned teamwork.
The Triangle Building, a new 250,000-square-foot Union Station Neighborhood office building, is awaiting LEED Gold Certification and features 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail with 212,000 square feet of Class A office space on floors 2 through 10. The 140-foot-tall building also has two levels of underground parking and features a unique triangular shape to fit the approximately 0.9 acre, zero lot line site. The Triangle Building is in a premier Denver location on 16th Street Mall and immediately adjacent to the new Denver Union Station. Included in the project scope was the Wewatta Plaza, a public plaza/walkway that forms an important part of the connection between Union Station and the Pepsi Center.
The new 115,000 SF Broncos Indoor Practice Facility will feature a full-length football field, team locker room, office area, video production room and a new retail store. Running concurrently with the practice facility to the East will be renovations and additions to the existing Headquarters Building. Included in the headquarters project will be; a new commercial kitchen/cafeteria, renovation to the lobby, press room and office spaces. In the end, these new and improved facilities will rank with the best in the professional football industry.
The the Exempla Good Samaritan Comprehensive Cancer Center is a new four story building of 83,590 SF on the Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center Campus. The project encompasses site work, two linear accelerator vaults, PET/CT imaging, brachytherapy, medical oncology, support services, and the upper two floors will be decided to clinical spaces.
A new four-story residence hall on the Golden campus. Includes site development (demolition of existing structures, earthwork, site utilities, and road work) and 97,665 sf of new construction. The project is being built on an accelerated “fast track” schedule and is seeking LEED Silver Certification.
The Center for Community is a new 143,000 sf dining and student services facility in the heart of the University of Colorado Boulder campus. The project also includes a 153,000 sf parking structure below grade.
The Center for Community provides high quality dining services for five adjacent residence halls as well as the public. Nine custom dining venues offer a unique dining experience for the patrons. This facility is expected to serve over 1.2 million meals each year.
The Center will also provide students “one stop shopping” for student services including Career Services, Disability Services, Counseling, and International Education.
The fast-track project was completed on time in order to serve the fall 2010 incoming students. This facility is LEED Platinum Certified.
This project includes a 1,500-car parking garage, 415,000 sf retail showroom with 50 different room settings and three complete model home interiors, warehouse, a supervised children’s play area, and a 500-seat Swedish specialties restaurant.
IKEA Centennial is the first U.S. IKEA store to integrate a geothermal system. This technology involves drilling 130 holes – each 5.5 inches wide and 500 feet deep – into the earth for pipes holding heat-transferring liquid circulating through underground loops to either warm-up or cool-down the temperature inside the store. All of this equates to the one of the largest geothermal systems in the U.S.
In addition, the facility has a 60,000 sf solar array consisting of a 498-kW system, built with 2,212 photovoltaic panels, and will produce approximately 740,000 kWh of electricity annually for the store, the equivalent to reducing 586 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
The project was completed approximately 3.5 months early.
The three-story, 170,982 sf NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) is a high-performance scientific computing in the atmospheric and related geosciences fields. The facility includes 16,000 sf of Administration space, 3,600 sf Network Operations Center, 2,300 sf of Mass Media Storage as well as a 100,00 sf Central Utility Plant.
Once full operation begins in the summer of 2012, the NWSC will continue to advance scientific discovery for the next several decades. The adaptive design and construction enables the facility to expand in accordance to the evolving nature of supercomputing technology.
The NWSC’s design takes full advantage of Cheyenne’s elevation and cool, dry climate by employing ambient air to cool the facility nearly year round. This will significantly reduce the facility’s energy use. The facility is estimated to be 90 percent more energy efficient than typical supercomputing centers and is on track to receive LEED Gold Certification. In addition, over 70 percent of the construction materials are reused onsite or recycled.
