Comfort Inn
Comfort Inn
The Comfort Inn project was a continuation of our partnership with our client looking to expand hospitality amenities in the Rifle, Colorado area. As with the Hampton Inn & Suites project, EVstudio helped the client early in the process to create a site plan that allowed the client to determine exactly how much land to procure. Once procured, EVstudio crafted a pricing set using different construction types in combination with the standards established by the hotel chain.

The Hampton Inn & Suites is a hotel project located in Rifle, Colorado.

Prospect Lake Beach House
Prospect Lake Beach House
The Eni R. Jaspersen Beach House, AKA Prospect Lake Beach House is a community center in Colorado Springs, Colorado situated in Memorial Park. This local gem was built in 1937 and thanks to a $1.4 million Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant, has undergone a grand renovation. The entire first-floor space was reimagined to be fully accessible and flexible for various private and public groups that use the facility — thus bringing new vitality to the center. This rare beachfront property features water sports, kids camps, and a place for seniors to gather.

University of Denver- Boettcher Auditorium
University of Denver- Boettcher Auditorium
At the University of Denver’s Boettcher Center Auditorium, a renovation was done to capitalize on unused auditorium space by reorganizing the space to add two additional classrooms. This re-imagining of space allowed DU to expand their usable space without addition and save then hundreds of thousands of dollars. The renovation also allowed for new accessible bathrooms, renovation of lab spaces, and upgrades to the mechanical, power, and fire protection systems.
There were some special design considerations for annexing new classroom space from a busy auditorium. A sound wall between classrooms B and C was also essential as these two classrooms are acoustically independent of each other for the convenience of the professors and students. An STC rating of 60 is typical in this kind of situation, and because using CMU was too costly, we achieved the rating with a metal stud wall partition. The key is getting a physical separation between the layers of sheathing on either side of the wall to isolate the vibrations. In this case, the wall cavity includes two layers of metal studs, one of which serves as a plumbing chase for a new drain line.

- Ensure efficiency of circulation. We design all projects to creatively account for required circulation, including driveways, sidewalks, stairs, elevators, and corridors.

- Create the right choice of systems. Based on decades of combined experience, we optimize structural, mechanical, and electrical systems for efficiency and functionality.
- Sustainable Design Options. Sustainability is a core strength and something we can prioritize when crafting your building designs. Energy modeling for CPACE financing can be a critical piece of your capital stack.
