Description

Pikes Peak, the most visited of Colorado’s great mountains, has long claimed a powerful hold on the public imagination. More than half a million people each year ascend to the summit, where they are rewarded with the view that inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write the lyrics of “America the Beautiful.” For visitors today, the perspective from 14,115 feet still evokes the awe and optimism of a seemingly limitless vista across the continent. This is the breathtaking setting for the Pikes Peak Summit Visitors Center. The project is currently pursuing LEED and Living Building Challenge certification, once approved it will be the first of its kind structure in Colorado. AIA Indianapolis is happy to welcome Michael Riggs, AIA, of RTA Architects (Colorado Springs), Project Architect and Construction Administrator to discuss this project. *5 p.m. - 6 p.m. - Networking and light snacks, beer, wine and soft drinks *6 p.m. - 7 p.m. - Program This program is approved for 1.0 AIA HSW LU Credit.
