Commercial Structural Overview
Commercial Structural Projects
Dry Creek Business Park
Dry Creek Business Park
Dry Creek Business Park in Broomfield Colorado is a flex industrial complex targeting an underdeveloped market for smaller footprint for-sale and for-lease space. The development features nine buildings with unit footprints of 10,000-15,000 sq.ft. each, which provided ultimate utilization of the narrow site. The genius of this extremely flexible design is the leasable multiple levels with demised units from 2,000 sq.ft. and up and flexibility in facade options for a wide variety of operational needs as well as visual diversity. These spaces are designed to fit a wide array of retail, office, and light industrial users.

University of Denver- Facilities Services Center
University of Denver- Facilities Services Center
Located in one of the University of Denver’s older buildings, the Facilities Service Center required a remodel to accommodate a growing staff and to enhance the guest experience. The Facilities Service Center includes the offices of the architectural staff, project managers, the maintenance department, and fleet services. This project was in multiple phases so that there is as little disruption to the staff and guests of the center as possible.

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.

Sequoia Square & Rise
Sequoia Rise and Sequoia Square condominiums are located in the heart of Saskatoon’s upscale neighborhood, Evergreen. This unique urban setting allows residents to enjoy city living while taking advantage of abundant walking paths and meandering trails. Amenities include a doggy day spa, yoga studio, game rooms, and caged storage for every unit.
