Boulder valley schools SUMMIT MIDDLE CHARTER SCHOOL
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Description:This middle school received a 21st Century Learning Design renovation and addition, totaling just under 39,000 square feet. Its scheduling presented a unique challenge, due to the fact that there was no available space to phase the renovation-portion of this project, while the students were in-session. To solve this dilemma, GTC began the 15,260sf addition in January. Then, as soon as school let out for the summer, we halted the addition and pushed all of our resources into expediting the 23,650sf renovation, which we completed by August 20, just in time for classes to resume. At that point we re-allocated our crews back to the addition. We achieved completion of the addition by October 28 – two months earlier than originally estimated.

Site improvements included utilities, site paving, grading and landscaping. Several add alternates are included in the scope including a gymnasium addition of 7,000 SF, a brick masonry colonnade along the south elevation and several interior finish upgrades.Midway through design, the Owner was faced with unfortunate funding challenges that required re-programming in order to work within the new funding limits. This meant that design had to, in a large part, start over. We were able to work with the Owner and Design team to:• Revise building structural systems to would allow for a shorter construction schedule to counteract design delays• Find savings opportunities through efficient space planning and use of materials to work within budget constraints• Provide design and details that allowed for future phases to be more easily accommodated if additional funding was available at a later date.The owner was later able to procure funds for a gymnasium “addition” halfway through the project. Since we had already planned for this addition in the design and details, this was able to be added to the current construction without delaying the completion date
