Center for the Arts Evergreen
The Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) has completed an impressive expansion, doubling its size from 5,000 square feet to 10,800 square feet. Designed as a Type III-B construction, the project seamlessly integrates masonry block walls and wooden framing, blending the new structure with the existing building while incorporating modern technologies and materials. This thoughtfully executed addition enhances CAE’s role as a vibrant hub for arts, education, and community engagement.
The expanded facility includes a state-of-the-art ceramics suite and private art studios, offering space for both group classes and individual artistic pursuits. An outdoor courtyard, surrounded by art-focused hardscape and landscaping, takes full advantage of Evergreen’s natural beauty, serving as a versatile venue for exhibitions and community events. Accessibility has been prioritized, with ADA-compliant restrooms and upgrades to the original building ensuring the center is welcoming to all visitors.

Holly Park Community Center
Holly Park Community Center
The Holly Park Community Center is part of affordable housing development in Commerce City, Colorado. Holly Park was originally constructed as market-rate apartments in the 1970s. When Mercy Housing took it over, it faced problems typical of this type of conversion, a lack of facilities needed for affordable housing. Mercy offers programs to their residents, including job training and after school care, and these needs were being handled out of a converted apartment. The offices were undersized to handle the increased tenant interaction with staff and the need for clothing and food banks. Additionally, the on-site maintenance was being housed in a variety of sheds. EVstudio thoughtfully crafted an all-new building nestled within the campus which now houses their offices, large food and clothing banks, a room that accommodates community functions and after school care, a computer lab, maintenance operations, and an office for a police liaison officer.
