The Elementary School, opening in August 2018, will house 600 preschool through fifth grade students with learning commons, gymnasium, cafeteria, art, music and flex spaces for 21st Century learning. The Center for Modern Learning will provide a new home for the online high school, the Calvert Online K-8 School and the home school Academy. It will also include spaces for cyber security and coding classes, as well as a makerspace. Opening in the Fall of 2018, the Challenger Learning Center is another component of the Center for Modern Learning currently being constructed.

Working with a complex scope and accelerated schedule, Hord Coplan Macht adapted a prototype elementary school, built elsewhere in Colorado, to the District 20 site. Through a series of bid packages, Nunn Construction broke ground and began earthwork just three months after project award.

Join SMPS Colorado and AIA Colorado along with Hord Coplan Macht, Nunn Construction and Academy District 20 as we take a tour of the construction site to learn about the unique features of this fast-track, design-build project! We’ll head to the Till Kitchen afterwards for a Happy Hour which includes appetizers and one drink ticket per registrant. Continuing education credit (1 AIA LU) will be offered to registered AIA members who attend the Hard Hat Tour.

***Closed toed shoes, pants, sleeves, a hard hat and vest will be required to tour the project site. If you do not have your own Personal Protective Equipment we will have extra on site. However, if you do not wear appropriate clothing you will not be allowed on the construction site.

• Tour: 4:00 – 5:00 PM
• Happy Hour:  5:00 – 6:00 PM

Actual building performance is the ultimate measure of high-performance design. This one-hour video course will cover the tools available to architects for best achieving predicted performance, including building commissioning, maintenance staff and occupant training, and building performance monitoring. This video course will also explore the use of building performance data and smart building systems to validate and improve performance, and as a tool for iterative learning and innovation.

After the video, we’ll have a round table discussion on commissioning with Matt Cooper from Group 14 Engineering.

Denver’s Department of Community Planning & Development recently launched the Neighborhood Planning Initiative (NPI), which aims to create an area plan for every part of the city in the next 10 to 14 years. And they need architects’ help.

The Far Northeast(which includes Montbello, Gateway/Green Valley Ranch, and the southernmost portions of DIA) is an area with many challenges and opportunities, and AIA is partnering with CPD to identify development scenarios that result in better-programmed and designed corridors, nodes,  intersections and community centers. This charrette will address 10 opportunity areas identified by the community, and the resulting work will help inform the development of the area plan.

Beer and refreshments will be served.

This is event is open only to members. Space is limited and volunteers will be accepted on a first come, first-served basis.

17th and Park is an 8 -story, high-rise residential development on 1280 E. 17th Ave in Denver, CO. This tour will be led by MPC (Martines Palmeiro Construction) in association with the AIA Colorado Emerging Professionals Committee and Rob Hollis (Assoc., AIA). This tour will explore various conditions and details by looking at the construction documents in the field and beginning to understand the relationship between the drawings and the real-world conditions. Attendees can expect to see lessons learned as well as successes in the drawings as we move through the building with an MPC project engineer and support staff. Attendees will get an insider look at the construction process and should expect to walk away with a new level of understanding regarding the impacts of their drawings in the field.
