summary
E xe c u t i ve S u m m a r y
The downtown campus of the University of Colorado Denver has never been more dynamic. Degreeseeking students have increased approximately 40% over the last decade, including a substantial increase
in undergraduate students. The campus is very diverse. Overall, nearly 30% of undergraduate students
and 13% of graduate students are minority students. The Denver campus is extremely accessible. The
Auraria campus and University of Colorado Denver properties are served by several RTD light rail routes
and there are new housing options near the campus that did not exist ten years ago. Most recently, the
concept of establishing campus neighborhoods for the three Auraria institutions has given the University
of Colorado Denver a unique opportunity to create an institutional identity on the Auraria Campus. The
Academic Building 1 project will capitalize on this convergence of opportunities for the University of
Colorado Denver.
The proposed building project will play a pivotal role in the evolution of the University of Colorado Denver
neighborhood, serving as a focal point for University of Colorado Denver students, staff faculty and
visitors. With its prominent position along Speer Boulevard at Larimer Street, the building will be the
gateway for the University of Colorado neighborhood. It will establish the nature of Larimer Street as
the primary circulation spine within the University of Colorado Denver neighborhood and help create a
connection between Auraria and downtown Denver.
The Academic Building 1 project includes a new 132,000 gross square foot building The new building will
be the first one constructed within the recently designated University of Colorado Denver neighborhood
on the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC). The new building will include three primary program
components: large instructional lecture halls; academic department office space; and student services /
student affairs functions. This project will be the first project located on the Auraria Campus to be funded
and occupied solely by University of Colorado Denver.
Academic Building 1 will consolidate many of the Student Services and Student Affairs functions that are
currently located in various locations on campus, including locations across Speer Boulevard at the CU
Denver/Dravo Building and the Lawrence Street Center. This co-location will create efficiencies in staff
operations between the various departments while offering the University of Colorado Denver student
body streamlined transactional and educational support services.
There are five College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) academic departments that will move into the
new building. Communication, Political Science, and Master of Humanities/Master of Social Sciences
comprise one of the core interdisciplinary cluster groups within CLAS. Their co-location will enhance
productivity, innovation and community engagement. Mathematics and History are departments with
significant growth and limited expansion possibilities in their present locations.
The Lecture halls (between 150 and 350 seats) will alleviate the current shortage of such spaces on the
Auraria campus and, by providing dedicated large format classrooms for CU Denver programs, allow for
future growth in enrollment.
The building will establish an active urban edge along Larimer Street within the Auraria Campus, working
in tandem with the northern portion of the North Classroom Building. The program organization along the
ground level on Speer Boulevard and Larimer Street will activate those street areas.
Academic Building 1 is to be completed by August 2014, with backfill renovation work commencing upon
occupancy of the new building. This project is critically important for the future of the Denver Campus
providing essential space for students, faculty and staff.

PROJECT
Pro j e c t D e s c ri p t i o n
Academic Building 1
The new Academic Building 1 will be developed on the southern portion of the current Parking Lot R located
along Speer Boulevard between Auraria Parkway and Larimer Street. It will be a 130,000 GSF building, 4 to 5
stories tall comprised of three primary program components: lecture halls of varying sizes and configuration
to be located at the ground level, academic department office space to be located at the upper levels and
student services / student affairs functions to be located vertically within the first three floor levels of the
building. Academic Building 1 will consolidate many of the Student Services and Student Affairs functions
that are currently spread out in various locations on campus. It is expected that this co-location will foster
efficiency in staff operations between the various departments while offering the University of Colorado
Denver student body streamlined transactional and educational support services.
The building massing will endeavor to establish an urban edge along Larimer Street within the Auraria
Campus, working in tandem with the northern portion of the North Classroom Building. The program
organization and stacking within the building will be strategic in placing programs that activate the ground
level edges along Speer Boulevard and Larimer Street by leveraging public spaces to promote social
occurrences and encounters derivative of the academic and student services transactional activities.
Academic Building 1 will serve as the neighborhood gateway and social hub for University of Colorado
Denver.
As defined by both the Auraria Campus Master Plan and the University of Colorado Denver Micro Master
Plan, development on this site acknowledges the encroachment of the Bell Tower View Shed as currently
defined by the City Zoning Ordinance. Academic Building 1 will endeavor to adopt a massing strategy that
frames views to the Tivoli tower and Mount Evans.
Academic Building 1 will possess four public edges that will play a role in shaping the social character of the
building.
•
The Speer Boulevard edge is about presentation and showcase as experienced by vehicle travel along this
thoroughfare and from the edges of downtown along Speer. Public spaces along this edge will serve as prefunction spaces for the academic lecture halls.
•
The Larimer Street edge will evolve as the building’s living room; with its southern exposure, visual connection to
the North Classroom lawn and placement along a primary circulation circuit on campus.
•
The 12th Street edge, albeit considered by the previous master planning efforts as a service corridor, will
maintain a pedestrian friendly complexion and perhaps offer a nuanced street environment complementary to
the expected richness of Larimer Street.
•
The north edge of the building will present a public face for students, faculty and visitors utilizing the remaining
portion of Parking Lot R, while staging the development of public outdoor space upon the future development of
Lot R.
The setback area between Larimer Street and Lawrence Way will transform into a place created by the
Science Building, North Classroom Building and the new Academic Building 1. While a future building site
long-term, this space framed by this triad of buildings will take on new meaning within the immediate campus
and from the broader city landscape: the front lawn of the University of Colorado Denver neighborhood.

G 2030 Pedestrian Paving - Landscape
•
Pedestrian paving will be standard concrete in all locations except along Larimer Street and at the
east entrance on Speer Boulevard.
•
Larimer Street and the east entrance on Speer Boulevard will be specialty paving.
G 2040 Site Development
•
The University of Colorado Academic Building One site development can be described as four
significant edges and an outdoor open space. The overall character will exhibit more urban
characteristics than buildings currently on the AHEC Campus. By employing a tighter grid of
streets within the UCD neighborhood of the campus, it will give both the proposed building and
the UCD neighborhood a distinct character that will stitch together the fabric of the campus with
the downtown Denver grid, thus shortening the perceived “gap” created by the Speer Boulevard/
Cherry Creek corridor. The designed environments of the project will help to inspire a hierarchy
of public spaces that will create a diversity of scale, activity and character through the UCD
neighborhood.
G 2050 Landscaping
General
•
Plantings on the site will include trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses and groundcovers,
lawn areas or dryland grasses and wildflowers, including use of a majority of low water use
plantings. In general, maintenance of these planting will be a consideration, selecting plants
which require minimal pruning or other maintenance to maintain a healthy form and habit.
Streetscape
Larimer Street
The Larimer Street environment will be designed to be the threshold to the UCD neighborhood,
the primary movement spine for both vehicles and pedestrians and a showcase for the CU brand
of student life, urbanism and collegiality. The street environment will feature consistent high quality
concrete paving, street trees, grand-scale lighting and site furnishings that will be composed to
unify the Campus. The street edge will be designed to accommodate mass pedestrian movements
and furnished to accommodate small group gathering and intimate seating simultaneously, with
ample space to accommodate café seating.
12th Street
Like Larimer Street, the 12th Street corridor is a critical movement spine that stiches UCD
neighborhood together. This environment varies in character as it moves from the new science
building to the Auraria Parkway edge. The design for the street, from the Larimer Street
intersection to the Auraria Parkway will be designed like a woonerf - a pedestrian oriented spine
- with the capacity to support, minor one way traffic, short term parking and service. Pavement
will be simple concrete. Street trees will mirror the existing line of trees and street furniture will
be incorporated at the Larimer intersection. The street will have campus standard pedestrian and
street light fixtures.
Speer Boulevard
The existing row of street trees and historic pedestrian lights will be preserved and supplemented
as necessary to maintain the existing Speer edge character. A second row of trees will be added
alongside and triangulated from the trees in the tree lawn.
Landscape
The Glade
The Glade landscape is a zone that wraps the southern side of the lecture hall wing of the
|b|
building. The landscape is composed of informal tree plantings, mowed turf grass with campus
standard pedestrian lights and concrete slab benches on flush concrete slabs.
The Bosque
The Bosque is a formal planting of harvested Crab Apple trees from the intersection of Speer
and Larimer and the existing Larimer median. The trees will be planted in mown turf grass with
Campus standard pedestrian lights and concrete slab benches set on top of flush concrete slabs.
The Savannah/ Water and Detention Pond
The site’s storm water detention will occupy the area north of the lecture hall wing and south of
the Speer Blvd detached sidewalk. The landscape for this zone will be planted with tall ornamental
savannah grass. A concrete plaza will connect the lecture wing to the Speer Blvd walk. In the
center of the detention pone is a boardwalk that leads to a freestanding site wall made of the
same material as the building façade. The wall will likely be tall with a window view hole in it that
focuses the view to the Downtown skyline.
Parking Lot
The Parking lot will be configured to preserve as much parking as possible with the building
layout. The lot will be reconfigures to create as many stalls as possible. Islands, where possible,

G3020 Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary Sewer
•
The existing 8” sanitary sewer that currently runs through the project site will be re-routed down
Larimer Street to an existing 42” brick sanitary line in 11th Street. The AHEC Master Plan
identifies this line as being upsized to a 10” line in the future. This is currently being analyzed to
determine if it is necessary to upsize the line.
•
Sanitary sewer service to the building will most likely be located on Larimer Street, in the
approximate location of the existing 8” sanitary sewer main.
G3030 Storm Sewer
Site Drainage
•
The existing 18” storm drain line in 12th Street could potentially be upsized to a 24” line.
•
Onsite detention will most likely be an underground facility, either a concrete vault, large pipes, or
an arch chamber system.
•
Combination curb inlet/tree planters and mechanical filtration devices are being analyzed as
potential drainage structures.
•
Accommodations will be made for a small green roof, which will reduce the required detention
volume.

Irrigation
A fully automatic irrigation system will be served from a separate irrigation tap. All trees in
groundcover or mulch beds will be drip or bubbler irrigated. All groundcovers, perennials and
ornamental grasses will be drip irrigated. All lawn areas will be irrigated with pop-up spray
heads. Dryland seed areas will be irrigated with large, widely spaced irrigation heads to ensure
establishment.

Architectura l Narrative
DESIGN ANALYSIS
Center. This masonry product contains high amounts of iron and has a “flash” that reflects some of the daylight
and changes color depending on time of day and cloud cover. This brick product is also extremely dense and
waterproof, adding value and strength to the wall assembly.
Building Plan Layout
Glass will be insulated, double-paned, high-performance glazing tuned for specific exposures. Colors will be in
the neutral spectrum. Spandrels, ceramic frits and colors may be used for design intent, interest and identification.
The curtain wall and aluminum window systems will be thermally broken. These components will be integrated
with sunshades, mullion caps and extensions to maximize solar control.
The new building is sited on the south portion of existing Lot R bounded by Speer Boulevard, 12th Street and
Larimer Street. It is expected that the new building will be five stories and will not have a basement. The massing
is broken down into two primary blocks: one being a multi-story office building on Larimer and the other being a
tall single-story classroom wing spreading out to the north. The two building masses will frame a public outdoor
space. The height of the office element will be commensurate with the North Classroom building and will help
reinforce the urban street edge on Larimer. The single story classroom wing will allow for views of the Tivoli. This
single story structure will allow for longer structural spans to clear the tiered classrooms.
Stone veneer and composite metal panel systems will also be used in smaller quantities as accents or juxtaposed
between the more transparent glass assemblies and grounded masonry assemblies. Wall insulation in solid
cavity walls will exceed R-20 with a minimum of 2 inches of polyisocyanurate board insulation.
The three primary functions of the new building—classrooms, student services and academic office—will be
distributed to best suit circulation patterns and structural efficiencies. This distribution will help activate the ground
plane of the building. Highly-active and well-trafficked programs will be located on the ground floor. These include
the larger lecture halls, Admissions, Lynx Center, Café and portions of the Student Success programs. The
transaction-oriented programs, such as Bursar and Registrar, will be located on the fifth floor. Additional student
services, such as advising and tutoring, will be located on the second floor. The academic office portions will be
located on the third and fourth. There will be mechanical units on the roof.
The roof assembly will be a durable, fully adhered TPO membrane with scoria ballast to conceal the exposed
membrane. Copings and flashing will be prefinished metal to coordinate with aluminum window and wall systems.
Mechanical equipment will be concealed from the ground as well as from adjacent, taller building across Speer
Boulevard. These screen walls will be made up of a steel armature and composite metal panel skins. Lighter
metal colors, in the clear anodized range, will appear lighter and disappear when viewed from below. Roof
insulation will exceed R-30 through two layers of 2 ½ inches of polyisocyanurate board insulation.
Superstructure
Interior Construction
The superstructure, defined in more detail under the structural narrative, will be integrated and visible throughout
elements within the building. Bay spacing and column layouts will be thoughtfully orchestrated during design
and will be coordinated with the interiors to maximize flexibility, views, space standardization and well defined
circulation patterns. Bay sizing and building depth will be critical in both the single story classroom wing and the
multi-story student services and academic office wing. Classroom and auditorium spaces will be free of columns.
The multi-story portion of the building will be as narrow as practical to maximize access to natural daylight and
views.
The public spaces on levels one and two will need to feel warm, inviting, comfortable and exciting to draw
prospective and current students into the collaborative areas, café, study areas and circulation paths. The
circulation and way-finding needs to be clear and identifiable so that students coming to the building can easily
and efficiently find their way and gather information. To that end, the finish palette will be more than painted
gypsum board and carpet. It is expected that wood casework features and wood ceiling elements be used to
warm up levels one and two. Flooring needs to be easily maintainable; carpet will not hold up in the high traffic
areas. The student lobby spaces will terrazzo flooring. Way-finding, sign elements, kiosks and technology will be
woven into the finishes and fittings. In the larger public lobby areas, exterior materials will be featured. The brick
masonry, stone or curtain wall systems will be used in highlighted areas. Transaction-type counters may require
after-hours security measures including appropriately designed and integrated overhead counter doors and sliding
transaction windows.
The project sits on one the most visible sites on the Auraria Campus. All elevations of the building will be highly
discernible to students, faculty and anyone travelling through downtown. Additionally, roof treatment will be
considered thoroughly, as the various roof levels will be visible from buildings downtown including University of
Colorado Denver leadership in the adjacent Lawrence Street Center. This building will be the first University
of Colorado Denver building in the new University of Colorado Denver neighborhood and will act as a gateway
between downtown and the campus. These aspects and prominence of this building will inform the character,
materials and impact of the elevations.
The exterior envelope of the building will feature a combination of elements: curtain wall, aluminum window, brick
masonry, stone and metal panel. The materials will both play on and enhance the existing Auraria masonry palette
found on other successful buildings, including North Classroom, the Science Building and the King Center. Glass
and fenestration patterns will also build on these successful precedents in a new and modern approach. The
Larimer street frontage poses a technical challenge, needing to be as transparent and accessible as possible but
also configured and detailed in a way that reduces solar exposure, unwanted heat gain and glare. Horizontal and
vertical sun shading devices will be employed at these locations. Canopies, cantilevers, overhangs, and setbacks
will help break up longer stretches of building elevations and orient pedestrians to the multiple building entrances.
The southeast corner will be developed as a beacon or prow that can be easily distinguished during transit down
Speer or Larimer.
Brick masonry will consist predominantly of the Endecott Ironspot used on the Science Building and King
|
Private and open office areas will be more traditional including painted gypsum board partitions, carpet tile, lay-in
ceilings and wood doors in hollow metal frames. The partitions will be full height and acoustically insulated around
confidential areas, conference rooms and director-level offices. The carpet tile will have a high-performance
backing, type 6,6 nylon and different levels of piles and shearing. The ceiling assembly will be in a two foot by two
foot narrow-profile grid. Different ceiling panels will be used depending on use and acoustic concerns. Private
offices and conference / break-out rooms typically will use a more reflective tile, keeping sound within the room.
Open office areas will have a high performance acoustic lay-in tile with fiberglass insulation integral to the backing
to improve sound absorption in group work areas. All ceiling tiles will contain high levels of recycled content and
will maximize light reflectance to drive daylight deeper into the spaces. Suspended gypsum board soffits and
bulkheads will break up larger planes of lay-in ceilings and allow for ceiling height transitions. It is anticipated that
small amounts of linear wood ceiling systems will be used on upper level lobby and reception areas. Doors will be
white-birch veneer wood in painted hollow metal frames. Side lights, transoms and clerestories will be integrated
into the hollow metal framing to include an abundant amount of clear and fritted interior glazing with the intent that
daylight be perceived in nearly all occupied areas of the building.
Break rooms and work rooms will be similar to the office areas except that the flooring materials will be need
to hold up to higher levels of traffic. Linoleum or rubber flooring will be installed in these areas. These spaces

may need to be acoustically and atmospherically separated from adjacent spaces for LEED requirements and
noise concerns. It is understood that staff spend considerable amounts of time in these spaces so efforts will be
made to maximize access to daylight and views. Partitions in these areas need to be full height, extending to the
underside of the ceiling.
plate stainless steel with pad mounts and extended ceiling space. Lighting will be fluorescent. Flooring will be
sheet goods.
Circulation areas include lobbies, corridors, hallways, access ways and found spaces along these paths. Finishes
for these areas in office and administrative areas will be similar to the adjacent offices, with carpet tile flooring, layin ceiling with moments of linear wood accents. Circulation areas on the lower levels, with higher foot traffic, need
to be more durable. Carpet is not ideal in these areas; polished concrete and rubber flooring will be used. Wall
surface is also of a concern in high-traffic circulation areas. When gypsum board is scheduled, the lower eight
feet will be the high-abuse type. Wood wainscoting, exterior materials and interior masonry may also be used in
accent areas; these products tend to be more durable and cost effective over time. These areas, or elements, of
different interior wall finishes not only add interest to the spaces but will also be incorporated into the way-finding
concepts.
Millwork and casework will be AWI custom quality. Base cabinets and upper cabinets will be flush overlay type.
Vertical faces will be white-birch veneer. Hardware will include European hinges, brushed nickel pulls, and heavyduty drawer pulls. Counter tops will be solid quartz with matching backsplash. Adequate grommets will be located
to coordinate with technology and power.
Back-of-house service areas have their own set of demanding requirements, especially when in wet or noisy
environments. Wall and partitions susceptible to moisture or water will receive epoxy paint finishes. Ceilings
will generally be open to structure when pipes, fittings, cables and conduit are prevalent. In other areas, costeffective lay-in ceilings will be installed to better distribute light and to control acoustics. Flooring will be scheduled
accordingly, with sealed concrete being the typical application. When out of public and staff view, hollow metal
doors will be specified for durability and maintenance requirements.
Interior door hardware will be per University of Colorado Denver standards and will include brushed nickel lever
trim and fully mortised locksets. Exit devices, closers, stops and push-pulls will be high quality, brushed nickel per
University of Colorado Denver standards. Sound seal and door bottoms will be installed in rooms requiring added
acoustical privacy and in all mechanical rooms.
Restrooms will have porcelain tile flooring and wainscoting. Partitions will be full height for added acoustic
privacy. Restrooms will be planned to negate site lines. Toilet partitions will be solid phenolic with stainless steel
appurtenances. Toilet room accessories will be fully accessible, stainless steel type per University of Colorado
Denver standards; accessories will be fully or partially recessed at all locations. Vanities and counter tops will
be solid quartz with matching backsplash. Vanity counter tops may incorporate trash chutes, soap dispensers or
other accessories per University of Colorado Denver standards. Sinks in vanities will be drop-in or under mount
type with automatic sensor faucets. Frameless, high quality mirrors will span the length of the vanities.
Two stairs will be compulsory for the upper floors to meet the code-required egress requirements. Both of these
stairs will be fully enclosed and one will be required to exit directly to grade. It is expected that one stair will
become the primary vertical circulation path for the building; this stair enclosure will be located adjacent to the
main elevators. This primary stair will also be oversized in width and will be fully glazed at the exterior wall to allow
for views from within and into the stair at night in an effort to activate the vertical elements of the building. The
two exit stairs will have polished, precast-concrete stair treads with custom metal fabricated railings.
There will be a feature two-story lobby. The primary circulation corridor on the second floor serving the student
affairs areas will be open to the larger ground floor below. A glass and stainless steel railing system will be used at
the floor edge and will be integrated with the two-flight feature stair.
A full elevator study and design will be part of the design process. It is anticipated that there will be two 2500
pound passenger elevators and one 4500 pound freight elevator. The freight elevator will go to the roof. This unit
will also serve as the stretcher-compatible elevator and will be sized accordingly. The two passenger elevators
will be finished in polished stainless steel and wood veneer panels with stainless steel rails. The ceilings will be
stainless steel with LED down lighting. Flooring will be rubber. The freight elevator will be finished in diamond-

Equipment and Furnishings
Custom desk and kiosks are expected at public areas including the Student Services areas on levels one and level
two. These special areas will have custom designed casework features with white birch veneers, brushed nickel,
solid quartz and aluminum trim features. These desks and kiosk will be coordinated with surrounding finishes and
will integrate with adjacent wood wall and ceiling finishes. Systems and free-standing furniture, ancillary tables
and chairs, and soft seating will be part of a furniture package described in the Furniture narrative. Casework and
millwork in the architectural woodwork packages will be coordinated with these packages.
Accessories, including roof hatches, fire extinguisher/cabinets, AED cabinets, and lockers, will be per University of
Colorado Denver standards. Walk-off mats will be specified at all entries at the ground floor. These systems will
be surface-mounted type tapered edges; recessed systems tend to collect debris and may rattle after several years
of wear.
Services
Receiving will be limited to corporate deliveries, office supplies and inter-departmental mail. The receiving area
will be incorporated into the University of Colorado Denver shops area and may include either a dock or scissor
lift depending on final layout. Either option will allow for proper access to trucks with high tailgates. An overhead
coiling door is expected.
Trash and recycling materials will be collected per University of Colorado Denver standards throughout the
building and at public areas outside and adjacent to the building. Recycling and trash collection areas and
signage will be skillfully designed and built into interior architectural elements at all public areas. Typical “blue-bin”
type receptacles will be used in office and administrative areas. Heavier volumes of refuse and recyclables are
anticipated at the first and second floor where a greater number of students will settle and congregate. A rightsized trash compactor will be located at grade within a screened service courtyard along with recycling dumpsters,
transformers, the back-up generator and switchgear.
AHEC will provide snow removal on the grounds. Canopies and overhangs are expected to help protect entry
points from rain and snow. Landscape and softscape areas can be strategically located to receive smaller piles of
snow during heavy snow events so as not create unsightly mounds of melting snow.
All spaces, with the exception of service areas, will be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. This level
of accessibility will include the plaza and patio areas as well as all entrances. Auto operators will be employed
at the main entries. Restrooms, washrooms, kitchens, and business areas will all be designed to meet current
accessibility standards. The greatest challenge for accessibility may be the elevated grades anticipated at the
plaza levels due to finished first floor elevations. Sloped sidewalks and ramps will be carefully crafted into the
exterior design so that all persons, regardless of their level of mobility, can enter and enjoy the building and
grounds in the same manner. The public lobbies and their abundant signage and way-finding components will be
also be carefully considered and coordinated with this population in mind.
A café is anticipated at the ground floor. It is expected that a vendor will fit out the café with their proprietary

equipment and furnishings; the project will need to provide basic service such as hot and cold water, floor sinks,
and dedicated panel power. Lighting, millwork, wall and ceiling features will be tied into the main lobby character.
The new building will be classified as mixed, non-separated occupancy. The first floor, with the large classroom
and auditorium spaces, will have A-3 and B occupancies. The upper floors will be almost exclusively Group
B occupancy with smaller ancillary and accessory uses scattered throughout. The first and second floors will
communicate with an open stair and open corridors; this is allowed by code and does not trigger atrium code
requirements. Therefore, the building will not have an atrium, defined as connecting three or more stories.
Construction type is expected to be Type II-A, non-combustible with a one-hour rated primary structural frame,
bearing walls and floor construction. The building will be fully sprinklered. Sprinkler increases will only be
required at the first floor; the upper floors will meet the allowable floor area without the automatic sprinkler system
or frontage increase. Shafts and vertical exit enclosures will be constructed of two-hour fire resistance rated
construction. An elevator lobby will not be required given the use of an automatic sprinkler system.
In the office wing, the building is divided into 30 foot bays lengthwise, and two 20 foot bays and one 34 foot bay
across the width. The typical beam size is a W18 spaced at 10’-0” on center. The typical girder size is a W24
which are supported by wide flange W12 columns. Exposed steel columns will be round pipe, 12 to 14 inches in
diameter, and will be filled with concrete for fire resistance. Steel quantities may be estimated assuming 10 psf for
beams, girders, and columns in this area.
Standards
As the first new University of Colorado Denver building on the Auraria Campus, this Project will need to meet all of
the University of Colorado Denver construction standards for interior systems, finishes and fittings. However, being
on the Auraria Campus, the exterior grounds and landscaping features will need to meet the AHEC standards.
The exterior of the building, the materials, massing, scale and fenestration, need to bridge both University of
Colorado Denver and AHEC standards. University of Colorado Denver standards will dictate details, components,
and assemblies. Moreover, Auraria standards and design review processes will inform the primary architectural
character and representation.
12 July 2012
The project involves the construction of a new academic building with 2 wings: an office wing and a lecture hall
wing.
The office wing consists of 5 stories above grade, with a typical floor to floor height of about 14 feet. The first floor
story height will be larger at 16 to 18 feet. The office wing is separated from the lecture hall wing by an expansion
joint at the roof that will be approximately 4 inches wide. The building will be designed to IBC 2009 with 100 psf
floor live loads, per campus standards (reducible for girders and columns), and 10 psf floor superimposed dead
loads.
Each column is supported by a 30 inch diameter drilled pier with about 20 feet of penetration into bedrock.
Bedrock is estimated to be approximately 20’ below existing grade based on previous geotechnical investigations
in this area. Some drilled piers may require casing. Drilled piers will be reinforced. A geotechnical report is not yet
available for this site. Exterior curtain wall and brick veneer walls will be supported by 42 inch deep grade beams
over a 4 inch void space. Grade beam width will match the thickness of the wall assembly.
On this site, uncontrolled fill and residential basements from the neighborhood that originally occupied the site
may exist. Over-excavating and removing this material is likely required. New structural fill will be placed below the
slabs on grade. Slabs on grade will be 4 inches thick. A final soils report is required to verify all site characteristics
and foundation design values.
|
Elevated floor slabs are generally 3 ½” normal-weight concrete over 2” composite deck (one-hour fire rating,
unrestrained) supported by composite wide flange beams. An additional 1” of concrete may be required to
compensate for deck deflection and floor leveling. The roof slab will also be 3 ½” normal-weight concrete on 2”
composite metal deck within the mechanical area, and 1 ½” roof deck on all other roof areas. The roof structure is
expected to have fall-protection tie-offs and window washing davits around the perimeter. Directly under rooftop air
handlers, a 6 inch thick housekeeping pad will be used to reduce sound transmission. This thickness is based on
past experience and should be reviewed by an acoustical consultant during the Design-Development phase.

DESIGN ANALYSIS
In the lecture hall wing, all lecture halls will be on the ground floor, with a stepped slab on grade. The roof over the
lecture hall wing will be constructed using long span steel joists. The joists are estimated to be 48 inches deep,
and will be supported by steel wide flange girders. Steel quantities for the roof may be estimated assuming 10 psf
for joists, beams, girders, and columns. The roof deck will be 3 inches deep.
In addition to the steel quantities above, include 2 psf steel weight for miscellaneous metals over the building total
gross framed area. Miscellaneous metals include the slab edge bent plates, embedded plates, folding partition
supports, hot-rolled steel to support the exterior wall and sunshades, screen wall supports, etc. It does not include
the steel stairs.
All steel framing including beams, steel joists, girders, columns, and roof deck will require the use of spray applied
fire proofing to achieve a 1 hour rating.
The floor slabs can accommodate single runs of electrical conduit. However, the 3 ½” slab is too thin to have
conduit runs crossing above the high deck hats or to have conduit spaced closer than 18” o.c.
Floors in offices and lecture halls and other general areas are designed for industry-standard office vibration
criteria for walking, using an acceleration limit of 0.5%g, damping of 2.5%, and an applied force of 65 pounds.
Advantages of the composite steel system include speed of construction, flexibility for future floor and roof
openings and flexibility to accommodate future loading increases or more restrictive vibration criteria, and lower
foundation costs. Disadvantages include fireproofing of beams, columns, and roof deck.
Lateral system:
Lateral loads imposed on the office wing will be resisted by 12” to 16” thick cast-in-place shear walls adjacent to
stairs and around the central elevator shafts. For pricing, assume a total length of 200’ full height walls reinforced
with 12 psf steel reinforcement over the wall surface. Shear walls are supported by 48”x48” tie beams and a total
of (14) 36” diameter drilled piers with 30’ penetration into bedrock.
Lateral loads imposed on the lecture hall wing will be resisted by steel X-bracing located within the interior or
exterior walls. For pricing, assume an additional steel quantity of 2 psf over the lecture hall wing building area.
Braced frames are supported by 48”x48” tie beams. Drilled piers at braced frames are expected to be 36 inch
diameter with 20 feet of penetration into bedrock.
Exterior Wall:
The exterior wall is expected to be composed of brick veneer, metal panels, and glass curtain wall. Studs will be

DESIGN CRITERIA
The design of the new facility will have energy conservation in mind. Energy performance strategies will be
achieved and measured during the design development through energy modeling.
ASHRAE 0.4% cooling and 99.6% heating design conditions for Denver, Colorado are as follows:
DESIGN ANALYSIS
All heating water piping shall be insulated to meet the requirements of the 2009 IECC.
COOLING PLANT
Air conditioning for the Academic Building will be provided by a high efficiency, water cooled, chiller and cooling
tower (centrifugal or rotary compressor type). Chilled water will be distributed by variable flow chilled water pumps.
The pumps will have 100% redundancy. Preliminarily, the chiller will have 300 tons of capacity. The anticipated
chilled water supply design temperature is 42°F, with a 12°F delta T.
Chiller operating efficiency is expected to be approximately 0.48 kW/ton at full load.
The ASHRAE Winter Outdoor Design Temperature in this area is -3°F DB.
A 360 ton cooling tower will be matched with the chiller. The tower will be induced draft counter flow, with a
propeller fan and VFD speed control. It will be located on the roof and will have a ladder, safety cage and
handrails for maintainability. Condenser water (between the chiller and cooling tower) will be distributed by
constant volume pumps (with 100% redundancy).
UCD Standards/Guidelines exceed these requirements and will be used for equipment selection.
The ASHRAE 0.4% summer wet bulb temperature used for selection of the cooling tower will be 65°F with a
coincident dry bulb temperature of 81°F.
A water side economizer heat exchanger will be required to provide free cooling (chiller off) to the building when
outside air conditions allow. The chiller room should be a space dedicated to the refrigeration equipment and
will be protected with code and standard stipulated ventilation and refrigeration monitors.
In general, the environmental conditions for temperature, humidity, air change rate, etc. shall conform to
ASHRAE Standard 55.
All chilled water and condenser water piping shall be insulated to meet the requirements of the 2009 IECC.
The ASHRAE Summer Outdoor Design Temperature in this area is 93°F DB and 60°F WB.
Per UCD Standards/Guidelines, the space temperatures in the building will be 72°F for cooling and 72°F for
heating in occupied areas.

PROCESS COOLING LOOP
Each floor of the office wing will have a dedicated “process” chilled water loop for equipment heat rejection (such
as IT Room fan coil units).
AIR HANDLING SYSTEMS
The air handling system type will be customized for the specific area and occupancy type in the building. There
will be three air handling systems, one for each of the major occupancy components; classroom, office and
student services, and public spaces (lobbies, corridors, reception areas, etc.). VAV air handling units will have air
side economizer capability. Airflow measuring stations will be provided at supply, return and outside air streams.
The supply and return fans will utilize “fan-array” technology (multiple direct drive plug fans) and multiple VFD’s for
redundancy. Lights and convenience receptacles will be located throughout the AHU’s. Outside ventilation air will
be measured to maintain adequate ventilation air under variable operating conditions.
HEATING PLANT
Classroom / Lecture Halls
The heating plant for this building will preliminarily consist of three (3,000,000 Btuh each) natural gas-fired,
modular condensing (approximately 95% efficiency), hot water boilers. The boilers will provide hot water to the
air handling units and terminal units located throughout the building, and will be sized to provide approximately
30% redundancy in the system. The hot water will be distributed with variable flow building pumps. The pumps
will be designed with the capacity for 100% redundancy. The boiler room should have good access to the building
exterior for combustion air and maintenance service. The anticipated heating water design temperature is 150°F,
with a 30°F delta T. Outdoor air temperature reset controls will be provided to further improve energy efficiency.
A 30% propylene glycol solution is anticipated for the heating water system.
|
The air handling system proposed for the classroom lecture rooms is a variable-air-volume (VAV) system
with reheat coils and overhead ductwork distribution. The air handling unit will include a heat recovery
wheel and direct evaporative cooling. The anticipated AHU airflow is 35,000 cfm.
For budgeting purposes, each classroom space will be provided with (2) VAV units with reheat coils. The
west transit space will be provided with (3) VAV units and baseboard heat due to the large amount of west
facing glazing.
Hot water cabinet unit heaters and unit heaters will serve equipment rooms and entry vestibules. Areas with
large amounts of exterior glazing will be provided with Runtal style baseboard radiators.
Offices and Student Services Areas

DESIGN ANALYSIS
|
The air handling system proposed for the office and student service areas is a VAV system with reheat
coils and overhead ductwork distribution. Two air handling units will be provided and will include heat
recovery wheels and direct evaporative cooling. The anticipated AHU airflow is 48,000 cfm per unit.
•
•
•
HVAC Zoning shall be as follows:
Separate terminal box for each corner office space.
Separate terminal box for each break room, meeting room, or conference room.
Separate terminal box for every (3) offices, not located at corners of the building.
Alternate Design for Offices and Student Services Areas
An alternative to a conventional VAV system is an active chilled beam system in the office and student
service areas. The chilled beams serving spaces exposed to exterior walls and/or roofs are supplied by
both hot and chilled water. Therefore, heating and cooling would be provided by the chilled beam terminal
units. This can be done with a single coil and a change-over valve or with two separate coils. Interior
zones (with no exterior exposure) will have chilled water coils only. With this option, the air handling unit
would be sized to handle the ventilation air requirement only (dedicated outside air – DOA unit). The
air handling unit would have a heat recovery wheel with indirect evaporative cooling. Air handling unit
capacity: 20,000 cfm.
Public Spaces (Lobbies, Corridors, Reception)
The air handling system proposed for the public spaces is a VAV system with reheat coils and overhead
ductwork distribution. The air handling unit will include a heat recovery wheel and direct evaporative
cooling. The anticipated AHU airflow is 40,000 cfm.
The first floor lobby, located on the south side of the building, will be provided with a hot water radiant floor
system.
Radiant floor heating is proposed in open lobby/corridor areas due several factors, including:
• General “consistency” of the load (less heat/cool variation)
• Open seating nature of the spaces.
• Enhanced comfort in areas where heavy traffic from the outdoors mandates adequate heating.
Stairwells
Each of the (2) stairwells will be served by a dedicated rooftop air handling unit with direct evaporative
cooling and hot water heating. The anticipated airflow for each stairwell AHU is 4,000 cfm.
Air will be distributed through medium pressure ductwork to all terminal units (VAV’s). Ductwork downstream of
VAV boxes will be low pressure galvanized steel with liner on rectangular ducts. Ductwork shall be insulated to
meet the requirements of the 2009 IECC.
The ceiling plenum will be used as the return air path for all systems except where direct exhaust from the space
is required. Minimum ventilation air rates will be maintained at all times in the systems with CO2 sensors in “high
density” spaces (classrooms, conference rooms, etc.) to meet LEED requirements. Building pressurization will be
maintained through the DDC temperature control system.
Information Technology (IT) rooms will be cooled by either dedicated DX split systems or a dedicated “process”
cooling loop in the building (fan coil units).
32
All diffusers shall be louvered-face type.
EXHAUST SYSTEMS
General exhaust systems will serve areas such as toilet rooms, janitor closets and other special exhaust needs.
The chiller room will have its own dedicated emergency exhaust system.
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
A water entry room will contain the domestic water and reduced pressure backflow preventer. A dual backflow
arrangement is required to allow for testing of an assembly without taking the building out of service.
We anticipate a 3” domestic water service (3” tap and 3” meter).
Plumbing fixtures will be low-flow, water conserving type.
Hot water will be provided by a condensing hot water heater. Hot water will be recirculated to maintain continuous
hot water to the lavatories and service sinks. Tempering valves will be installed at all public hand washing sinks
and lavatories.
Storm drainage will be provided for all flat-roof areas.
FIRE PROTECTION
The water entry room will also be used for a fire main backflow preventer. This equipment will be a double-check
valve assembly. The building will be provided with a wet-type sprinkler system throughout. A fire pump will be
required to provide sufficient pressure at the most remote sprinkler head or standpipe riser in the building. We
anticipate a 6” fire water service.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature control will be Direct Digital Control (DDC) and will be connected to the UCD Anschutz Campus
Siemens Network.
The operators work station will have a graphical interface to all central equipment and individual zone controls.
The system will be fully capable of measurement and verification through real time monitoring and trending. All of
the new mechanical equipment provided will have complete control and monitoring capabilities. The system shall
utilize static pressure reset as a method of energy savings, as well as other energy conserving control functions.
All individual HVAC Systems are to include occupancy override for control during unoccupied periods.
Interoperability: The system shall be fully integrated with other digital systems. A significant amount of
interoperability between building systems will be provided. Direct communication through open protocols will be
provided to all HVAC and Plumbing equipment, where possible.
The following systems will require interface to the DDC System:
• Electric Generator
• Lighting Control System
• Electric Meter
• Domestic Water Meters
• Chiller / Boiler Controllers
| University of Colorado Denver - Academic Building 1 | Schematic Design Report | Anderson Mason Dale Architects |
|C|
All mechanical systems, plumbing systems and related support systems shall be tested and balanced by a
qualified independent Test and Balance Contractor. The Test and Balance Contractor shall be involved in
the project from the early phases of construction to verify balancing components, control devices, and other
necessary devices being installed to properly balance the system.
The feed will consist of eight 4-inch conduits encased in concrete per campus standards. Two of the
conduits will each contain 3#2/0 15kV conductors with concentric neutral, and the remaining six are to
be spare. Three manholes are to be located along the path to extend the medium voltage conductors to
the building. The manholes will contain cable supports and load break junctions, and all grounding and
other accessories as required by UCD Campus Standards. The conduit and duct bank will then extend to
the edge of the construction area. Conduit and duct bank has been installed for a portion of the project
to the north side of the soccer field.
The Test and Balance Contractor shall be responsible for completing a complete Test and Balance Report.
The Test and Balance Report shall be submitted to the Engineer in a timely manner to allow the systems to be
validated prior to occupancy by the Owner.
The Test and Balance Contractor shall be responsible for working closely with the Commissioner, as required to
fully commission the building.
It is anticipated an independent Commissioning Agent will commission the building. All subcontractors associated
with the project shall carry the necessary monies to fully cooperate with the Commissioner during the course of
the commissioning services.
SUSTAINABILITY
In order to meet LEED Gold certification for the building, the HVAC and Plumbing systems will be designed with
energy saving measures including: condensing (low temperature) boilers, high-efficiency water cooled chillers, and
AHU heat recovery wheels with direct evaporative cooling. In addition, low flow plumbing fixtures will be utilized (1
gpf urinals, 1.6 gpf dual flush water closets, low flow faucets) to help reduce water consumption. Indoor air quality
will meet or exceed ASHRAE ventilation standards. Demand controlled ventilation will be used where spaces are
intermittently occupied or the occupant load is variable.
The following table is a summary of the anticipated annual HVAC energy savings (based on cost) for 3 proposed
system options:

Conductors from switches D and C currently extend to the Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center
(HHLC) located on Auraria Parkway and 11th. These two feeds will be intercepted at a manhole prior to
that switch and extended to the new UCD building.
TESTING AND BALANCING
PRELIMINARY ENERGY ANALYSIS
DESIGN ANALYSIS
The two feeds will be extended to a 200-amp keyed switch that will allow the building to switch
between Xcel substation feeds (similar to the HHLC). The new switch will feed a single pad-mounted
oil-filled 13.2kv-480 volt 2500 KVA transformer that will provide service to the building from the
underground primary system. Contractor will be responsible for bringing primary service to the building
including all raceway, conductors, duct bank, manholes, termination points, switch, and primary
transformer to the building.
SECONDARY SERVICE
The facility will be provided with power via a single 3000 amp service entrance switch board “MDC”.
Integral transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) using selenium technology will be provided on the
MDC. The service entrance equipment will be located on the main level in the main electrical room.
A utility grade watt-hour meter will be provided on the main entrance gear. All circuit breakers in the
MDC will be provided with fully adjustable settings. All feeds will be provided with metering to be read
at the building management system. The MDC will have 30% spare circuit breaker capacity.
All panel boards and switchboards will be located in electrical rooms on each floor. Two electrical
rooms will be provided on the first floor and one electrical room on each of the floors above. The
electrical rooms will each house a 277/480 volt normal panel board, a 277/480 volt life safety panel
board, a lighting control relay panel, and five 120/208 volt normal power panelboards with a 112.5 kVA
step down transformer. A 120 volt emergency panel board will be located within the telecom room on

DESIGN ANALYSIS
Additionally, various product pictures and other images have been provided throughout this narrative.
The use of these pictures and images is not intended to convey that this project will necessarily make use
of the product or image depicted – rather, they are intended to assist the reader by visually depicting the
systems and equipment described.
INTRODUCTION
Technology Na rra tive
VISION
Items shown in red text in the various figures and tables in this narrative denote either action items or
items that require further clarification as the design progresses.
The fundamental nature of academic communication is changing, and the future of information is digital.
Robust technology systems are necessary to deliver the full potential of the digital age to a demanding
student and faculty base.
PROJECT DELIVERY
Pedagogy is shifting from a focus on the dissemination of information to the
assimilation of knowledge – from teaching to learning. Traditional learning
methods and the physical spaces which support those methods are being
reexamined. The act of learning is increasingly being viewed as an
interactive, socially engaged, anytime and anywhere process.
The section defines the systems to be included in this project, and documents the assumptions by which
these systems will be designed, procured, and constructed.
DESIGN, PROCUREMENT, AND CONSTRUCTION
Physical spaces and environments are being redesigned in
new and innovative ways to reinforce this paradigm shift,
and recent technological developments are accelerating the
process. In the past, simply providing basic access to digital
resources was a challenge. That access was generally
limited to a few computers in fixed locales with limited
functionality. Today’s technologies are advancing at a
tremendous pace, becoming ever more powerful,
participatory, diverse, and cost effective – and as such, are
requisite to the new learning paradigm.
The technology systems (and the components that make up those systems) which are currently included
in this project are listed in Table 1 – Technology Systems Matrix below.
Given the multitude of technology systems which could be included in a project of this nature, as well as
the varied parties responsible for design, procurement, and construction, it can sometimes be difficult to
determine what party is responsible for what system, or even if a particular system is to be included.
With this in mind, Table 1 – Technology Systems Matrix brings definition to the technology systems and
the entities responsible for them. Technology systems (if any) other than those shown in the table are
assumed to be outside of the scope of this narrative.
The Contractor will be responsible for those systems for which ‘Contractor Responsibility’ is indicated in
the table.
Technology systems will be leveraged throughout this facility to foster this
vision.
The University (or an entity so designated by the University) will be responsible for those systems for
which ‘Owner Responsibility’ is indicated in the table, including coordinating the design of those systems
with the A/E Design Team to ensure that building components (e.g. power, cabling, etc.) necessary for
the support of those systems are provided as part of the project.
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
This narrative provides an overview of the technology systems planned for this project. Because
‘technology’ is such a broad term, for the purposes of this document the term ‘technology’ will be used to
collectively refer to the systems below:

One Telecom Entrance Facility (TEF) and four or five Telecom
Rooms (TRs) will be provided as part of the project to provide
locations where communications cabling systems will terminate
and equipment will be installed (Refer to figure 1). The TEF will
be colocated in a TR on the first floor. Four other TR’s will be
located directly above the TEF/TR and aligned vertically so
they stack on top of one another on the other floors.

Data cabling cannot run more than 90 meters (295 linear feet),

including ups and downs and patch cords. Based on the current plans it looks like it would take
approximately 372-feet of cable to reach the north end of the northern most lecture hall. Another TR on
the first floor closer to the northern most lecture hall will be required.
For this project, the minimum communications room size is expected to be no less than 10X12 for TRs;
the TEF and ER both need to be a minimum of 10X16. Refer to figure 1 below for a typical 10x12
telecom room layout.
Free-standing equipment racks and/or cabinets are located within
communications rooms, and are typically centered within the room along the
long axis with space for a minimum of one future equipment rack to be
installed. Ladder rack “rings” the room – providing the necessary routing for
cables from their entry point within the room to their respective termination
points within the racks and/or cabinets.
Figure 1 – Typical Telecommunications Room Layout – Rendering, 3D From Above
The walls of the Communications Rooms will be covered with 8 foot tall 3/4inch fire treated plywood mounted 6” above the finished floor (AFF) to 8’6”
AFF. The door will swing out of the room (rather than into the room). Other
considerations for these rooms, such as equipment, rack and cabinet usage,
space allocations, size, are addressed in this section. Parameters specific
to these considerations are provided in the following tables.

The sizing of Communications Rooms is dependent upon the number and width of racks/cabinets to be
housed within the room (plus space for a minimum of one future rack/cabinet), the depth of equipment to
be mounted in the racks/cabinets and on the walls, and the necessary 3-foot clearances on both sides of
the rack/cabinet mounted equipment. Equipment racks/cabinets will be used to house various equipment
such as station cable patch panels, backbone cable patch panels, and active electronic equipment
(network switches, mid-span PoE devices, routers, etc.).

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS)
An Access Control System (also known as a “Door Control” System) controls and monitors select doors
throughout a facility. It provides real-time monitoring of entryways, stores entry activity for future retrieval
(such as who entered a particular doorway at a given time), and secures or opens doors based upon
different variables (such as time of day, departmental access verification, or individual access
verification). General parameters specific to the Access Control System for this project is provided in the
following table.

The IWS/DAS can be used for Public Safety / First Responder, Facility 2-way Radio, Personal
Communications Services (PCS) (Cellular Phone services from multiple cell phone carriers)and Wireless
Pager systems. Such systems are also being used in very large facilities to facilitate location tracking and
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as well as wireless data networking (Wi-Fi). Industry specific
frequencies can also be transmitted on an In-building Wireless System. These systems may also be
used to enhance the reliability/use of cell phones throughout the facility, regardless of building
construction and glazing materials.

ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE (ROUGH-IN)
TELECOMMUNICATIONS BONDING SYSTEM
The Telecommunications Bonding System is considered to be an essential part of
the infrastructure necessary to support the technology systems discussed in this
narrative. Telecommunications bonding safeguards personnel, property, and
equipment from foreign electrical voltages and current. This system is an
extension of the “AC Grounding Electrode System” (which is outside of the scope of
this narrative).
INTRODUCTION
The Electrical Infrastructure (Rough-in) System provides the conduits, boxes, pathways, firestopping,
structural and other components necessary to support the various technology systems described in this
document. Unless otherwise noted, this system will be designed and constructed to UCD standards,
TIA/EIA standards, and industry best-practices, and will furthermore adhere to the principles outlined in
the BICSI Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM).
Table 17 – Telecommunications Bonding System – Parameters
Electrical Infrastructure will be provided for the systems described previously in this document (and as
detailed in Table 1 – Technology Systems Matrix). Building backbone pathways connecting the TEF,
TR’s, and DAS ER will require a minimum of four (4) Trade Size 4” sleeves/conduits for interconnection.
Sleeves or slots through walls and floors shall be fitted with approved re-enterable firestopping. A 2”
minimum reamed and bushed conduit shall be provided from the cable tray to each room. This entrance
sleeve shall be shared by all low voltage systems entering the room. A larger sleeve, as specified by IT
Services, may be required depending upon the room’s size and low voltage requirements. A 1” conduit
shall be used to provide a pathway inside the wall to each work area outlet. The conduit shall be stubbed
out to the top of the wall and be physically oriented towards the floor’s
cable tray. The conduit end shall be reamed and bushed. Provide protective cable bushings on all
conduits immediately after installation. Applicable codes, standards, and specifications shall be enforced.
Parameters specific to the electrical infrastructure necessary for the support of each of these systems are
provided in the following tables.

The Contractor is responsible for building Outside Plant (OSP) pathways and spaces for Academic
Building 1 as per the requirements described in the UCD Standards. Site Infrastructure for Academic
Building 1 shall consist of buried ducts (conduit), ductbank (groups of conduits) and vaults which provide
pathway for communications cables to and from the facility.
Figure 3 shows proposed improvements to the Site Infrastructure. The current concept proposes
providing new telecom ductbank “A” (red) from the existing North Classroom building and one vault (red)
as the primary telecom infrastructure and providing new ductbank “B” (blue) and two more vaults (blue)
from Student Success Building (SSB) as secondary, redundant telecom infrastructure. The primary
infrastructure would come straight from North Classroom Building (underground along 12th Street) and
would include maneuvering new infrastructure within the ceiling space of North Classroom building to
connect to the primary telecom room. The redundant path would continue north (underground along 12th
Street) then turn west (underground along Walnut) and then connect to existing ductbank that has
recently been extended underground to Walnut and 11th Streets.
An option has been proposed to provide ductbank (green) to the southwest corner of the North Classroom
from the new primary vault (red). Due to distance, one additional vault (green) would be required along
the optional path. This optional infrastructure would come from the existing Telecom Manhole located in
the intersection of 11th Street and Lawrence, near the southwest corner of the North Classroom Building
(underground along 11th Street). This optional path would extend east (underground along Larimer
Street) and connect to the primary vault.

DESIGN ANALYSIS

Furniture Na rra tive a nd Ty p i c a l s
New Academic Building 1:
The new building is planned to use all new furniture product. The first floor consists of classrooms & student
service spaces. The second floor will be small study rooms & the upper floors will be offices spaces.
Office-Faculty
Classroom layouts will be based upon teaching styles and adaptability to meet the various learning modes seen
in today’s classrooms. Flexibility within smaller classrooms will be accommodated to allow for easy transitioning
between professor instruction, group work, peer to peer discussions, and student presentations. Small (under
40 seats) and medium (40-100 seats) size classrooms will accommodate this. Furniture types will include mobile
tables with wireless connectivity/wire management that can be easily reconfigured, flexible whiteboard/ writing
surface systems, and chairs on casters to allow greater flexibility. Small classrooms may also employ tables with
monitor arms & keyboard trays. A learn lab concept is being considered for one of the small classrooms. Larger
lecture spaces, for approximately 100 & 200 students, will be planned with powered fixed tables, and caster based
chairs. The larger lecture spaces with 200-350 students will be planned and outfitted with tiered auditorium style
seating.
1
Office standards will be evaluated and adapted to include new furniture trends and planning concepts that will
offer professors spaces to conduct heads down work, and spaces to meet with students and peers. A percentage
of offices will be evaluated as closed office layouts vs open office workstation layouts. Product will be flexible
to adjust for changing uses over time. Product may include systems furniture, typical architectural hard walls
(gypsum board) and the use of demountable partitions to create the best possible solution for future change.
The selection process will be a collaborative one including UCD stakeholders. We begin the furniture process by
identifying goals & objectives for the selection and decision-making process. To facilitate this process we have
presented broad furniture planning & design concepts to UCD. Next we will conduct additional program meetings
with each department to confirm user requirements. Then, facility tours and a furniture fair will allow UCD staff to
understand the concepts further. Durable, flexible and sustainable products will be important in ensuring the best
product and value for UCD. The change in legislation requirement for CCI (Colorado Correctional Industries) and
the open bidding process has opened up further options for UCD. More product options are available and there
is a potential cost benefit to sending furniture out to bid. UCD has requested using CCI as their main furniture
provider per a cost study they conducted internally. In instances where CCI product does not fit the intended
function or design aesthetic preferred by users, we will provide additional options that will be sent out for bid. If
alternate options are approved by the UCD Stakeholders, we will submit a variance if still required.
Sustainability is a campus standard. The Academic Building is pursuing LEED Gold. The furniture selection
process will match these sustainable initiatives as it evaluates manufacturers, products and options. Gallun Snow
has tracked LEED points on numerous projects. We have aided design teams in successfully obtaining innovation
credits for sustainable furnishings through careful specification and evaluation processes. We plan to implement
these standards for UCD to help them achieve the highest LEED certification possible on this project.
6/27/2012 11:55:20 AM
Study rooms on the second floor will accommodate group & individual study areas to meet student & technological
needs. These areas will include a variety of spaces including: typical group study rooms with tables & chairs,
individual study carrels, small group lounge seating areas & more focused study environments. Plug-in shared
technology and mobile whiteboards will be an integral part of planning in group study areas.
C:\Users\ewares\Documents\GS_UCD AB1_Central_ewares.rvt
Student Services will provide information for students and an area to meet. Most of the first floor will be
collaborative style lounge seating meant for groups to sit and interact before & after class. Every space is potential
learning space. Technology integration into the furniture will be considered.

Sustainability Goals
Goal: Construct a high-performance, healthful, durable and environmentally sound building.
Objective: Achieve LEED Gold certification.
The LEED program is comprised of five main categories with specified levels of performance for multiple specific
criteria within each category. Some of the strategies that will be employed to achieve LEED Gold certification
are listed by category below.
Sustainable Sites:
The selected site avoids the development of inappropriate sites and reduces the environmental impact from the
location of the building.
The project channels development to urban areas with existing infrastructure.
The proposed site is close to public transportation.
The project will provide bicycle storage and changing rooms.
Storm water management will decrease the volume of storm water runoff.
Site design will reduce the heat island effect normally resulting from construction.
Water Efficiency:
Water-efficient landscaping and irrigation will reduce site water use by at least 50%.
Low-flow water fixtures, and motion-sensing metered faucets will reduce building water use by 35%.
Energy and Atmosphere:
High efficiency heating and cooling systems will improve energy performance over conventional buildings by
approximately 32%.
Materials and Resources:
At least 75% of construction waste materials will be recycled or salvaged.
Overall, construction materials will contain at least 20% recycled content.
At least 10% of construction materials will be extracted and manufactured within 500 miles of the site.
Indoor Environmental Quality:
Ventilation rates to all occupied spaces will be at least 30% higher than the minimum required rates.
Indoor air quality will be controlled during construction and a full building air flush-out will be performed before
occupancy.
Low VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesives, paints, flooring and composite woods will be utilized.
A high level of lighting system control by individual occupants or groups in multi-occupant spaces will be
provided.
A comfortable thermal environment that promotes occupant productivity and well-being will be provided. Control
systems will evaluate and modulate air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed and relative humidity.
The Colorado High Performance Certification Program stipulates that LEED Gold certification be achieved
for new construction and substantial renovations that are funded with 25% of more of State funds. While this
Projected is not funded with State funds the UCD goal of achieving LEED Gold certification is consistent with the
Colorado High Performance Certification Program mandate.
