The 36-acre Denver Water Operations Complex Redevelopment – 2022 AIA Colorado Design Award of Merit in Sustainability – as well as a host of awards and accolades, is a true model for sustainable design and one of the most multi-facetted sustainable projects in the nation. Its many challenging goals – including energy and water efficiency, water reuse, and zero on-site carbon emissions – required intricate campus-wide solutions. The design needed to strike a balance between providing functional and efficient spaces, incorporating design concepts that would provide wellness and benefit to the employees, and remaining within the project budget as a responsibility to the ratepayers. Denver Water utilized the design concepts presented by the design team, garnered feedback from the employees through feedback sessions, and provided a continuous feedback loop on constructability and costs.
