Project Overview
New building: The Academic Building 1 is expected to be 120,000 gsf building (approximately 80,000 asf). It will be the first building built in the recently designated University of Colorado Denver neighborhood within the Auraria Campus. As such, it will be a focal point for UC Denver visitors, students, staff and faculty. The new building will be the first project located on the Auraria Campus but funded and occupied exclusively by the University of Colorado Denver.
Renovation: Additional programming and design services will be required for the approximately 68,000 asf that will be vacated by the moves to the new building. The vacated spaces will be in multiple buildings on the Denver and Auraria Campus.

Install new medium voltage cable including excavation in Buildings 400, 401, 402, 406, and 407 on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Five pad-mounted S&C switchgear will be added so as to strategically close or open switches to isolate building if there is a load or failure problem. This will allow greater redundancy in operating the electrical service for the buildings. Hi-pot testing of all new circuits will be included.

Replacement of existing electrical load centers serving the Fitzsimons Building (formerly known as B500). This state-funded controlled maintenance project is being designed and constructed in multiple phases to systematically replace all three (3) load centers, including medium voltage primary switches, 13.2 KV - 480/277V transformers and low voltage switchboards. The new equipment enclosures will be NEMA 3R for exterior exposure and integrated on pre-fabricated structural steel skids to minimize replacement time.
