Boulder, COLocated in the CU Research Park in Boulder, this custom building is Phase I of a 200,000 sf two-phase master plan. The facility includes 100,000 SF of office space for administration, sales, marketing, R & D and technical support. Due to its location, the project required City of Boulder and University of Colorado design approvals and needed to reflect architectural aspects of the University's Northern Italian Tuscan style, yet act as a bridge between the campus and the City. In addition, containing costs and meeting the functional needs of the corporation was an essential design requirement. The design provides optimal interior flexibility while meeting aesthetic requirements. Pre-cast walls are sandstone-shaded brick set in the concrete to mimic the University's more expensive Colorado sandstone. A concrete tile roof, punched windows and third floor balconies tie the design to the University without bowing completely to Tuscan design features.
