Description

Good Bones: A Tour of DU’s First Mass Timber Building, The Burwell Center for Career Achievement (Presented by SAR+) Join SAR+ for a tour of DU’s first mass timber building, The Burwell Center for Career Achievement. Opened in the fall of 2020, this three-story, 23,000-square-foot facility provides a mix of classroom space, faculty and administrative offices, and indoor-outdoor forums. During the tour we will share specifics about this project’s design approach, the first in Denver to use cross-laminated timber shear walls and shaft walls. We will also share insights into the collaborative design process—which is critical to keeping mass timber projects streamlined and efficient. Lake|Flato led the design of the LEED Platinum v4.1 net-zero-ready project and SAR+ provided local design, coordination, and construction support.
