ConcreteTracker Project of the Week: Western State Colorado University Student Apartments

Design West Architects designed this beautiful 90,000 square foot apartment dormitory, with options for 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units, providing 228+ beds in single and double occupancy bedroom options. This project also includes a hierarchy of both indoor and outdoor social gathering spaces as well as support spaces for study rooms, laundry, game rooms, community gardens, a recycle center, and housing office. It was determined the building should be designed as a 50-year building that will stand up to the severe winter environment of this 8,000-foot-high Colorado mountain campus setting. The construction is a 4-story, masonry and stucco veneer, on Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs). The floors are a composite steel joist and concrete floor deck system with metal framed interior walls with high impact finishes and light gauge metal roof trusses.
