Located at 2595 S. Federal Blvd., the project team includes Cushing Terrell, Palace Construction, IMEG Corp. and Terracon Consultants. All Saints Apartments will bring an income-restricted housing option to seniors in the Denver com- munity. Designed for efficiency, afford- ability and well-being, the com- plex maximizes unit count while ensuring individual living spaces retain views and ample day- light. Holistic resident health is further supported through com- mon gathering spaces, counseling rooms, bike storage and access to public transportation. “This is an important project for the Denver community, which like so many urban areas across the country is facing a critical need for affordable housing,” said Michael White, director of civil engineering at Cushing Terrell. “We love putting our multidisci- plinary design services to work to bring sustainable, efficient, wellness-focused housing devel- opments like this one to life.” The project team is pursuing sustainable certification through the National Green Building Standard at the bronze level, which addresses energy, water and resource efficiency as well as operations and quality of indoor environmental factors such as access to views and daylight, operable windows, and healthy materials. The development will include 63 studio and one-bedroom, age- and income-restricted affordable apartments and dedicated spaces for supportive and community programming. Construction on the project is set to be completed by September. s Palace breaks ground on All Saints Apartments affordable seniors housing JE Dunn Construction recently completed new construction and renova- tion on the Larimer County Jail campus in partnership with the Larimer County Jail, Larimer County Sher- iff’s Office and DLR Group. Delivered in four phases, the 137,719-square-foot proj- ect includes the delivery of a new housing tower, new kitchen and laundry facili- ties, new booking and work release areas, several staff support spaces, and a new central utility plant designed to accommodate future cam- pus expansion and modern- ization. “The Larimer County Jail improvement project truly embodies their goal to serve those in need and provide a safe place for individuals,” said WHOM at DLR Group? “Every aspect of the facil- ity provides for visibility, dignity and respect for the incarcerated. We are proud that this project will be a beacon for other facilities and lead the industry toward more modern practices that allow the flexibility to best manage the people in their care. Of note was the focus on officer and staff wellness through the incorporation of natural light, appropriate finishes and safe decompres- sion spaces. For those incar- cerated, the facility provides for a wide variety of inmate classifications and includes facilities for mental health and medical treatment to provide holistic care which will help reduce recidivism.” The project focuses on restorative justice with open dormitory-style housing, centrally located medical facilities, and uniquely uti- lizes natural light through all three stories of the new housing tower, kitchen, and laundry room. In addition to modernized jail staff training areas, the existing sheriff’s office building has been con- nected to the new construc- tion physically and meta- phorically, creating a bridge between the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office and the Lar- imer County Jail. “One thing that really set this project apart from oth- ers is the team’s desire for continuous improvement,” said Matt Betts, JE Dunn vice president. “We looked at what we did really well and tried to learn from the things that didn’t go well. The team’s culture of con- tinuous improvement really made this a really high-per- forming team.” s JE Dunn Construction delivers Larimer County Jail campus Crazy Shirts, a 59-year-old T-shirt manufacturer, is moving its local operations to 4747 Ivy St. The 68,000-square-foot space was designed by Lubowicki Archi- tects. Construction was complet- ed by Williams Construction. Before moving, Crazy Shirts sent materials to Los Angeles for dyeing and had only a small screen printing space in Aurora. At the new location, every piece of production will happen under one roof. “It allows us to maintain a lower inventory level because we’re pushing the goods out to the stores and consumers more quickly and turning goods more quickly,” CEO Mark Hollander said. The building, formerly home to National Wood Products Inc., had to be completely renovated to fit a dye space, screen printing, distribution and offices. Along with construction, Hol- lander said the company did a full upgrade, investing in “cutting-edge technology” and changing the way it uses energy. For example, it’s experimenting with new systems that complete every step of the manufacturing process on one machine. Williams Construction’s Jared Lundy said the new site uses recycled water, high-pressure steam piping and advanced air pumps, and lighting systems to cut utility costs. Water use will be reduced by 60%. “It really brought this 1967 building into the future,” Lundy said. “It’s a very unique facility that is combining three different locations into one.” s Crazy Shirts relocates local operation into renovated, water-efficient space in Denver The complex maximizes unit count while ensuring individual living spaces retain views and ample daylight. The new Roosevelt High School occupies 65 acres of a 240-acre master plan in John- stown. Built by Adolfson & Peterson and designed by Treanor HL, the high school is the anchor for the master plan, guiding future develop- ments to partner with the high school’s career pathways. The district’s goal to create a “Career Development Jour- ney” for all students, with career awareness as early as elementary guiding the focus on Career and Technical Educa- tion programs in its new facili- ties. The new 230,000-square- foot school’s career pathways have been designed into four distinct zones or areas within the school layout. The academ- ic clusters of Health + Justice, Skilled Trades + Agriculture, Engineering + Technology, and Hospitality + Business are the organizing components of the school. The career clusters are arranged along a central com- munity commons space, called “The Heart” – a space where students and teachers collabo- rate, share, connect, laugh and nourish. An arena-style main gymnasium holding 1,500 spectators supports and cele- brates the district’s passion for athletics, health, and wellness. Flexible and adaptable spaces, high utilization, and communi- ty support are key design driv- ers in the shared community programs and amenities. s Adolfson & Peterson delivers Treanor HL- designed Roosevelt High School in Johnstown Roosevelt High School’s design includes this Career Commons area.
