Construction began in March 2021 on the 90,000-square-foot school, which was built from a state-of-the-art design by HCM Architects and was constructed on the existing Franklin Ele- mentary campus schoolyard, replacing the existing, aging building. Once demolished, the Franklin Elementary footprint was transformed into play- grounds, playing fields and parking serving the new school and neighborhood. The school was completed on schedule and opened for students for the 2022-2023 school year. Early collaboration efforts through use of building infor- mation modeling identified numerous conflicts with the structure, underground MEP, framing and rough-in. These clashes were adjusted and re- sequenced early in the con- struction process to provide a smooth flow of work free of design or schedule impacts. “This was a standout proj- ect in terms of the collabora- tion and teaming among all stakeholders,” said Nate Holst, Howell general superinten- dent. “We continue to apply best practices from this proj- ect to all Howell construction work.” s Howell Construction completes elementary school for Littleton Public Schools Gudy Gaskill Elementary library about a 20-month construc- tion period, The Meadow- mark is expected to open to residents in the early part of 2025. UDG Managing Partner Yoni Gruskin kicked off the groundbreaking cer- emony by providing con- text on Colorado’s popula- tion growth over the last few decades because it is such a desirable place to live. This has contributed to the state’s affordable hous- ing crisis and shortage of attainable housing. “It’s fit- ting for us to come here and try to be part of the solution,” said Gruskin. “Our goal here is not just to provide affordable hous- ing opportunities, but also provide these opportunities in desirable and growing communities like right here in Castle Rock and Douglas County.” s Ulysses Continued from Page 32 neighborhood.
