Center for Multi-Scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes at CSU

Center for Multi-Scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes at CSU // Fort Collins, CO

project overview

The Multi- Scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes Laboratory (CMMAP) project proposes construction of a two-story, 16,000 SF new building on the Atmospheric Sciences Complex (ATS) on CSU's Foothills Campus. The new space will consists of a Director's suite and offices for three research groups, two current and one future research group. There will be a computer room for the computers to run the atmospheric modeling research as well as a seminar room to hold approximately 100 people. The building is sited to create a plaza between two existing buildings and the new building to create a more pedestrian campus for collaboration. The building is planned to take advantage of the sloped hillside by burrowing into it with a lower level entry from the parking area on the west side and an upper entry at the plaza level on the east side with a two-story lobby space to connect the two entries.

Colorado College - El Pomar Sports Complex

Colorado College - El Pomar Sports Complex // Colorado Springs, CO

project overview

The El Pomar Sports Center originally built in 1970 was challenged both in access and facilities, and currently serves Varsity Athletics, but with little or no accommodation for the general student population seeking wellness and fitness. OZ worked closely with the Athletic Department in modeling a concept that answers needed ADA upgrades, enhances varsity strength & conditioning facilities, centralizes strength training with physical therapy, introduces an exciting visitor experience via an athletic office addition with CC sports history and memorabilia displays, and a dynamic new student athletic and wellness addition. The addition adds an indoor space to aid Club sports, Intramural sports, student lounge areas, outdoor observation of varsity games, as well as creating a new opportunity for structured wellness sessions in yoga, spinning, weight training, and cardio conditioning.

Student Learning and Success Building - Community College of Denver

Student Learning and Success Building - Community College of Denver // Denver, CO

project overview

Currently in design, the CCD Student Learning and Success Building involves Student Service and complex remodeling to an existing 2-story masonry structure.
The 2-part project includes a LEED-Gold-certified 85,000 sf new building and 30,000 sf of remodeling to the College’s existing 1974-era South Classroom building. The scope of this remodel involves Mechanical Systems upgrades, reconfiguration for greater efficiency, improved way-finding, flexibility and function.
An extensive and detailed programming effort resulted from close collaboration with CCD Student Affairs and CCD Education Provosts including the complex Student Enrollment/Testing/Financial aid process, and welcoming places that support student interaction and a strong sense of “home.” Our collective guiding principal used to evaluate nearly every decision has been “Stewardship of the Student Funds.”
