St. Francis Medical Center Expansion
6001 E. Woodmen Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80923

Owner:                   Penrose/St. Francis Health Services /Centura Health                       
Architect:                RTA Architects                           
Contractor:             G.E. Johnson Construction Company  
Construction Cost: $73,730,000

The facility is a new five-story, 168,000 square foot addition to the existing Medical Center that was also designed by RTA/MGA in 2005. The facility includes operating rooms, neonatal intensive care units and a new emergency department and is designed for two future floors of patient rooms at approximately 26,600 gross square feet per floor. The structural construction materials are similar to the original construction with composite concrete slabs on steel frame roof and floors.  The lower garden level parking and floor under the north ED is precast concrete double tee floors with precast girders and columns.  The stair and elevator cores are precast wall panels that are the lateral force resisting elements for the addition. Foundations are deep, concrete drilled piers. Construction started in the spring of 2017 and was completed in the spring of 2019. The project was a standard Design-Bid-Build delivery method.

The Meadows at Castle Rock, Town Center Three 
3855 Ambrosia St., Castle Rock, CO 80109

Architect:                  HB&A
Owner:                     Castle Rock Development Company 
Contractor:               White Construction Group  
Construction Cost:   ~$7,500,000

This project is a three-story, mixed-use building with 14,600 square feet of retail and medical office on the lower two floors and 6,900 square feet of residential on the upper floor. The structure was steel framed with composite concrete floors on steel deck and a steel bar joist and metal deck roof.  The foundations were drilled piers with concrete grade beams on void form due to highly expansive soils.  The main level floor is concrete slab-on-grade.  The site soils were highly expansive and recommended over 10 feet of over-excavation.   We performed a pricing exercise to assist in determining if over-excavation and spread footings was more cost effective than a deep foundation system for this building.  Construction started in the spring of 2019 and was completed in the spring of 2020.  The project delivery method was CM/GC with White Construction as the General Contractor providing cost and schedule input and making final design decisions based on their project budget.

Aurora Fire Station 15
1880 S. Flat Rock Trail, Aurora, CO 80018

Architect:                                HB&A
Owner:                                   City of Aurora
Contractor:                             Golden Triangle Construction
Estimated Construction Cost: ~$4,000,000

The project consisted of designing a new fire station building derived from a prototype developed by HB&A for the City of Aurora.  The building is approximately 12,900 sf with offices, day room, kitchen, fitness room, storage, training, and apparatus bays on the first floor and fire fighter dorm area on the second floor.  The on-site soils were found to be highly expansive and required deep foundations.  The foundations are cast-in-place concrete drilled piers supporting concrete grade beams on void form.  The building structure is a combination of steel roof deck supported by custom steel trusses and CMU exterior walls at the apparatus bays.  The remainder of the building is steel bar joists supporting concrete-on-steel deck floors with light gauge stud bearing walls.  The second-floor roof is gabled wood trusses with plywood sheathing.  The building lateral resistance is provided by exterior and interior CMU walls.  Construction began in spring 2017 and was completed in the spring/summer of 2018.   The project was a standard Design-Bid-Build delivery method.  This design team also completed Fire Stations 5 and 16 for the City of Aurora in the last 4 years.
