The drainage improvements include a storm sewer and miscellaneous on-site drainage features. “We’re very proud of our tre- mendous relationship with the Denver Public Schools and com- pleting this tremendous project on behalf of the students and staff of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early,” said Rich Mendez, super- intendent, GH Phipps. s Expanding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College athletic facility Deneuve Construction Services broke ground on Ruby Vista, a 98-unit affordable housing com- munity located directly across from Ruby Hill Park in southwest Denver. It was designed by Gor- man Architectural LLC. Developed by Gorman & Co., Ruby Vista will offer rental units ranging from one to four bed- rooms. All units will be income- restricted for individuals at a range of low- and moderate-income levels, from 30%-60% of the area median income. “We know just how critical affordable housing is in the city. We hear this need every single day,” Denver Mayor Mike John- ston said. “This represents a great step forward for our effort to make sure we can keep Denver as a place that the folks that live and work and serve Denver can still afford to make Denver their home.” Located at 1901 S. Navajo St., the five-story, 100,690-square- foot complex will provide prime access to Ruby Hill Park ameni- ties, including a bike park, walk- ing paths, free concerts at Levitt New affordable community breaks ground in Ruby Hill Regis Jesuit High School com- pleted its 65,000-square-foot Sci- ence & Innovation Center. Project partners include Lar- son Incitti Architects, Saunders Construction and Anser Advi- sory. Construction began in June 2022 on this fourth academic building, which will open for classes this month for the start of the second semester. The Sci- ence & Innovation Center will be utilized by all the school’s stu- dents, helping to address a criti- cal need for additional space, as well as providing upgraded facilities for the core sciences, interdisciplinary exploration, creativity, entrepreneurship and scientific experimentation. The building’s 13 science classrooms and 8,000-sf Innova- tion Center elevate STEM offer- ings and further complement the strong liberal arts founda- tion offered in Regis Jesuit’s unique single-sex instruction model, which currently serves 1,700 young men and women. The facility provides enhanced state-of-the art spaces for the biology, chemistry and physics curriculum and will allow the expansion of courses in robotics, rocket science, environmental science, studio arts and more. An expanded media lab will provide abundant space for stu- dents to develop industry skills needed in producing quality journalistic media content. Prominently positioned at the front of the building and show- casing extraordinary views of the mountains, the Our Lady of the Way Chapel becomes the third chapel on campus, pro- viding a sacred space in this new building and to convey the school’s Catholic, Jesuit tradi- tion. The Science & Innovation Center also features numerous presentation and informal spac- es to invite collaboration and nurture curiosity. In addition to its academic focus, the building also becomes the front door for Regis Jesuit High School. A new admissions center will welcome prospec- tive students and their families to campus, while the nearby McCallin Alumni Center will welcome thousands of alumni back to their alma mater. The school plans to expand the utili- zation of the Science & Innova- tion Center, exploring ways it can become a resource for the community beyond that of its current and alumni families. The second floor of the $36 million building opens on the east side to McNicholas Plaza, a 4,000-sf multipurpose outdoor space ideal for student learn- ing with the capacity to host community events, especially when coupled with the adjacent McNicholas Green. Additional capital initia- tives within Inspire & Ignite 2025 include enlargement of the school’s tennis facilities, construction of which is now underway, as well as expansion of athletic field space. s Regis Jesuit High School opens 65,000-square- foot Science & Innovation Center in expansion Capital Square announced the completion of construction of Phase 1 of its Steamboat Basecamp, a 75-unit mixed- use multifamily property in Steamboat Springs.
