About this Event

The University of Denver Community Commons is a LEED Silver certified educational facility in South Denver. The four-story building is comprised of various student-serving functions, including lounge spaces, meeting rooms, food retail, and student support offices. The building design is inspired by canyons in the surrounding region, and it’s built with materials that evoke the local geology.
Attendees will hear directly from members of the project team to learn about the building’s LEED features, including enhanced HVAC, green roof design, stormwater management, sustainable materials, and how project location and density were utilized to maximize LEED credits.
