Project Description:
86,700 sf historical renovation and addition to Mount St. Gertrude’s Academy in Boulder, Colorado. The Academy campus, consisting of the original Academy building which was constructed in 1892, the Chapel, and the Conservatory, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a state and local landmark. In 1980, a fire destroyed the school’s third and fourth floors. The project consisted of restoration of the historic Academy buildings and construction of a new apartment addition and nine bungalows.  A total of fifty-one residential units for an upscale, integrated living community for senior citizens comprise the entire facility. The project challenge was to maintain the original intent of the designers, builders and residents while upgrading life safety elements, including features appropriate for a senior community.
