Univeristy of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, Colorado
The expansion to Dwire Hall, home of the Business School at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, builds on and strengthens one of the best parts of the campus.
The building opens onto a green that predates the formation of the University. Three buildings combine to form a common edge to the green with the site treatment at each building adjusting in response to changing conditions along a common edge.
The stairway at the building entrance opens to and strengthens the intersection of two major campus walkways. Further to the north, a garden terrace provides space for events associated with the Business School and offers views past the main walk and on to Pikes Peak.
The main walk is reconfigured in plan and profile to meet ADA guidelines. The overall scope and scale of site renovations allows for the installation of low water use native grasses in low traffic areas.
