Colorado College

THE DETAILS

The Challenge

Founded in 1874, Colorado College required the renovation of an existing science lab within the Tutt Science Center to better support the needs of its Geology department. The project involved targeted upgrades to an existing lab space, including ADA compliance improvements and modifications to counters and cabinetry, all within the constraints of an occupied academic facility. While the lab itself was taken offline during construction, surrounding areas remained active with students and faculty, creating a sensitive working environment that required careful coordination. The integration of accessibility upgrades within an existing footprint added complexity, requiring precise planning to ensure compliance without compromising functionality or design intent. Additionally, the project team was tasked with maintaining a safe, clean, and minimally disruptive construction process within a high-use academic building. Balancing these factors while delivering a modernized, accessible lab environment presented a focused and detail-driven renovation challenge.

The Solution

To successfully deliver the renovation within an active academic setting, the project team implemented a focused and well-coordinated construction plan that prioritized safety, accessibility, and minimal disruption to surrounding campus activities. Work was carefully sequenced to isolate the lab while maintaining normal operations in adjacent areas, allowing students and faculty to continue utilizing the Tutt Science Center without interruption. Close collaboration with Colorado College stakeholders ensured alignment with departmental needs, academic schedules, and accessibility requirements. Clear communication and proactive planning allowed the team to anticipate challenges and adjust workflows as needed, maintaining efficiency throughout the project. ADA improvements and modifications to counters and cabinetry were executed with precision, resulting in a functional and inclusive lab environment tailored to the needs of the Geology department. Careful attention was given to integrating these upgrades within the existing space, ensuring both compliance and long-term usability. Through disciplined execution, controlled work zones, and a strong emphasis on cleanliness and safety, the project was completed efficiently and with minimal impact to the surrounding environment. The result is a modernized, accessible laboratory space that enhances both functionality and the overall academic experience.
