Through a two-phase design competition, the design-build team of RNL/Pinkard Construction was selected to create the Central Platte Campus for the City and County of Denver’s public works department. Included in the campus are fleet maintenance and office/warehouse buildings, fuel and wash facilities, covered and heated vehicle storage, salt and magnesium chloride storage, and associated parking and circulation space. Located along the South Platte River at I-25 and Alameda, the site is highly visible, making design aesthetics as key as functionality. In addition, the LEED-NC Gold-certified project features extensive photovoltaics, daylighting, solar orientation and-water saving strategies.
