Project Overview
The AO1 First Floor Renovation project will be the next step in the evolution of CU Anschutz’s commitment to providing more modern, sustainable, and responsive workplace environments for its faculty and staff.

Mindful of the fact that our prior strategy of providing private, dedicated offices for each of our faculty members is neither preferred by many faculty, sustainable, cost-effective, or conducive to our mission to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, the AO1 First Floor renovation Project will exemplify a new more flexible workplace modality more in tune with the zeitgeist of a 21st Century open and shared work space culture.

A great variety of flexible working/meeting configurations will be included to accommodate any permutation of collaborative engagement or workspace preference. The promotion of these types of spaces is recommended on campus to help build an integrated community of education, research, and health care professionals.  Other support spaces such as a kitchenette, and a shared workroom with copier, printer, office supplies and mail will be provided as well. Of note, individuals who will occupy this space, do not have dedicated office space elsewhere.

Project Overview
The Central Utility Plant (CUP) at the Anschutz Medical Campus is designed to generate steam and chilled water to heat and cool all campus buildings and those at The Children's Hospital. Steam and chilled water is fed from the CUP into the mechanical piping in the campus distribution loop.

It was built in 2003 using the same "just in time" philosophy as the campus infrastructure project: While the original project constructed a building that will house enough boilers to generate 600,000 pounds per hour of fixed firm capacity (FFC) and 18,000 tons FFC of chilled water.The original project only installed chillers to serve the first phase of development and incorporated the relocation of four boilers from the relatively new existing US Army heating plant to reduce future cost.

The first expansion occurred in 2004 with the addition of 4,000 tons of chilled water to serve the added cooling needs of several new buildings at a cost of $4.1 million.

The second expansion occurred in 2007 and added 8,800 tons (firm fixed capacity) to serve the cooling needs of The Children's Hospital, Anschutz Inpatient Pavilion (AIP) Phase 2, AIP base expansion, the Health Sciences Library, Education 1, Education 2 North & South, Academic Office 1 and the Research 1 North & South buildings, at a cost of $14.9 million.

Project Overview
Building Demolition 700,000 square feet of existing buildings have been demolished to make room for new buildings, infrastructure improvements, parking and removal of hazardous structures.

Campus Distribution Loop
A new campus loop has been developed to organize the distribution of underground utilities. While utility components within the loop have been designed to serve the ultimate campus buildout, they have been completed "just-in-time" to serve building needs as they occur within available funding. These utilities include:

Drainage, Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer and Water lines
The replacement of existing underground "wet utilities" with new storm, sanitary sewer and water lines has been necessary to serve the long-term need for increased capacity and differing uses of the new buildings. New water lines also support the increased water pressure requirements for new high-rise buildings. Temporary storm retention and detention ponds have been necessary in some cases until long-term storm sewer lines could be built.

Steam and Chilled Water
New mechanical piping and utility vault connections located proximate to planned new buildings have been completed. These utilities originate at the campus Central Utility Plant and allow for two-way distribution for efficient maintenance without disrupting campus service.

Electrical Distribution
Electrical distribution duct banks and feeders have been installed, as well as new circuits, new underground vaults, switches, breakers and other electrical components

Telecommunications
Telecommunications distribution duct banks and feeders have been installed.

Landscaping
The landscaping of campus common areas includes the property fronting Colfax Avenue from Wheeling to Quentin Streets.

Roadways
New roadways have been developed which organize campus vehicular circulation, service access and pedestrian and bikeways. They have been organized to distribute parking toward the campus exterior and support pedestrian circulation on the interior of the campus. Roadway "cross-sections" have been developed to plan and organize all underground utilities to allow for access and future maintenance and are coordinated with the campus distribution loop. Roadways incorporate adjacent landscaping, walkways and signage.

Phase 10 Infrastructure development includes the following:

Building Demolition
Demolition of US Army buildings 220, 226, 632 and 633 to clear space for infrastructure routing, building development, parking and removal of hazardous structures.

Water and Storm Sewer
Installation of water and storm lines in Victor Street.

Telecommunications Duct bank
New duct bank in 17th Avenue as well as west of the Fitzsimons Commons.

Sanitary Sewer
New sanitary sewer lines in 17th Ave.

Project Overview
Research 1 North & South includes 600,640 gross square feet (gsf) (390,160 net assignable square feet (nasf)) of new research space and will be the basis for the initial CU Anschutz Medical Campus research effort. Included in the Research 1 North & South facilities will be wet laboratories (163,000 nasf), core laboratory space (21,560 nasf), lab support space (108,800 nasf), related faculty office and conferencing space (54,400 nasf), Center for Comparative Medicine (34,000 nasf), and building support space (8,200 nasf).

An essential element of the Research 1 North & South is that it is developed around the concept of prototypical laboratory space with a flexible lab support concept. The laboratories were designed to accommodate almost any research program, while the support space is easily tailored to the needs of individual researchers or disciplines. The space is largely generic and general as opposed to unique laboratory space to ensure flexibility in use and the capability for interchange of space and activities among the various research departments.

Project Overview
The Nighthorse Campbell Native Health project involved construction of a 45,396 gross square foot facility at the Anschutz Medical Campus, to house the Division of American Indian and Alaska Native Programs, Programs for the Public Psychiatry, and the TeleHealth/TeleEducation Program Office and Resource Center.

The 3 story building is comprised of office and conference space and state of the art multimedia production, computer servers and work rooms. The building houses extension library and archive of publications that support the American Indian and Alaska Native Programs, Public Psychiatry, and TeleHalth/TeleEducation Programs.

The building was used to relocate and expand the programs of the Division of American Indian and Alaska Native Programs currently housed in the University North Pavilion facility on the Denver Campus. The TeleHealth/TeleEducation Program Office was created during 1996 with the primary purpose of coordinating and providing the necessary support services required by the numerous campus telehealth and teleeducation Program activities. In order to generate the media source materials necessary to support teleconsultative Native American health care activities and to facilitate both the technology training and program assessment services to be provided by the center, studio and media production support space is included in this building.

The Programs for Public Psychiatry currently employs 56 clinical faculties, 4 administrative faculties, and 28 doctoral and post-doctoral trainees located at six site locations throughout Colorado. Currently, 15 faculty and staff members are housed in approximately 1,610 assignable square feet of program space located in the Colorado Psychiatric Hospital facility at the CU Denver campus.

The construction of this project was delivered under a Construction Manger/General Contractor (CM/GC) method of deliver. The project was designed by local Denver Architecture firm MOA Architects and built by local CM/GC Contractor Haselden Construction.
