EVstudio Gun Range & Firearms Training Facility Expertise

EVstudio Gun Range & Firearms Training Facility Expertise

Firearms training facilities demand more than a good floor plan. They require ballistic safety, precise ventilation, and tightly coordinated engineering. At EVstudio, we deliver all of it under one roof.

Independence Indoor Range
EVstudio designed the Independence Indoor Shooting Range, a 25,000-square-foot facility housing three ranges—a 4-lane 100-yard rifle range, an 8-lane tactical range, and an 8-lane tapered bay—plus retail space, offices, and classrooms for gun safety and training courses.

Specialized Design for Complex Training Environments

EVstudio provides specialized architectural and engineering services for firearms training facilities. Specifically, we serve firing ranges, tactical training centers, and law enforcement support campuses.

Moreover, our integrated team understands the unique challenges of range design. These challenges include ballistic safety, operational functionality, ventilation, utility systems, and detailed site planning. In addition, we coordinate closely with specialized range consultants and equipment manufacturers.

Experience Across the Public and Private Sectors

Our experience spans both public-sector and private-sector training facilities. Consequently, we support everything from local law enforcement environments to large security and tactical campuses.

Furthermore, we have contributed to a wide range of project components, such as:

  • Outdoor firing ranges and multiple-distance shooting bays
  • Classroom and training facilities
  • Weapons maintenance areas and support buildings
  • Control structures and observation towers
  • Target system infrastructure and associated site improvements
Clear Creek Sport Shooting Park
EVstudio provided the architectural, civil, and structural engineering design for the Clear Creek Sport Shooting Park in Dumont, Colorado, which opened in July 2026 with 45 shooting lanes, action bays, and a clubhouse.

One Team, Every Discipline

EVstudio’s multidisciplinary approach sets our range work apart. Notably, we provide architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and utility coordination together.

This integrated delivery model proves especially valuable for firearms facilities. After all, range operations, site design, building systems, and specialized equipment must function as one coordinated system. As a result, we close the communication gaps that often derail complex projects.

Infrastructure Built Around Range Operations

Our team designs the infrastructure that keeps ranges running safely. For example, we handle power distribution to target systems, range lighting, and emergency power.

We also design support facilities, classroom buildings, and complete utility systems. In many cases, we coordinate septic systems and specialized HVAC for training and weapons-maintenance environments.

Ventilation deserves special attention here. Indeed, NIOSH warns that standard building HVAC often fails to control airborne lead. Therefore, we design airflow systems that protect shooters, instructors, and maintenance staff. For deeper technical guidance, review the NIOSH indoor firing range alert.

Coordinated Ballistic Safety

Additionally, EVstudio works closely with range-design specialists. Together, we integrate ballistic protection features, berms, safety barriers, and operational requirements into the overall design.

Representative experience includes planning and design efforts for multiple municipalities. For instance, we have supported projects in Clear Creek, Adams County, and more.

The Independence Indoor Shooting Range pairs its ranges with a full retail component, offices, and classrooms—designed to feel welcoming to shooters of every experience level.

Why It Matters

Ultimately, our experience in complex training facilities pairs with our integrated capabilities. Because of this, we deliver range projects that prioritize safety, operational efficiency, constructability, and long-term performance. Meanwhile, we meet the unique requirements of law enforcement, security, military, and private training organizations.
