Pathology Renovation is a renovation project of the existing Histology and Pathology labs of the UC Health Anschutz Medical Campus located in Aurora, CO.

This project’s scope includes renovation the existing Histology lab in Pavillion One and new construction of a new Pathology lab in a shelled out space in Pavillion Two.

To be able to begin the design process, the design team did a Matterport scan of the existing spaces and received background plans from the client. This project will be constructed in several phases because the existing medical lab equipment will continue to be in use during construction.

This project is currently in the Construction Documents phase and will be submitted in April 2025.

SHOULDER ANGELS MORRISON, COLORADO

Fourth Year Design Studio. Fall 2019

Professor: Katie Donahie

Team: Abi Balderrama, Shantal Villalobos

Shoulder Angels is the ﬁrst iteration of a residential project for my fourth year design studio. The site is located in Morrison, Colorado.

For this project, I teamed with Shantal Villalobos to create a residential space that would house a human and two animals of our choosing that were native to Colorado. I chose a butterﬂy and Shantal chose the Mountain Lion.

We were tasked with creating a space that would house all three beings. We initially chose to design a building that expands vertically and provides a space for each being as well as a communal space for all to cohabitate.

The design approach for the communal space focuses on the sporatic movement of the Butterﬂy’s ﬂight pattern while the decision to seperate each space derives from the solitary nature of the Mountain Lion.

FREEDOM TO ROAM MORRISON, COLORADO

Fourth Year Design Studio. Fall 2019

Freedom to Roam is the ﬁnal iteration of a residential project for my fourth year design studio. The site is located in Morrison, Colorado.

We decided to follow a different approach for the shape of the building. The new form is inﬂuenced by the organic nature of all species’ movement and still includes a separate living areas along with a communal space in the center.

EVOLUTIONARY GREENHOUSE - DESIGN BUILD

Denver, CO

August 2019

Professor: Dr. Maria Delgado De Leon

Contribution: Interior team - Planters

The greenhouse is named the “Evolutionary Greenhouse.” The name pays tribute to the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) mission to “ignite evolution that enriches places for people and the planet.”

The CAP students oriented the structure due south to maximize sun exposure. The envelope consists of corrugated metal and polycarbonate material. The students integrated two types of polycarbonate material that is clear on the north side and opal on the rest of the building wall surfaces to diffuse sun light. The greenhouse has operable louvers on the north facing greenhouse side. The students designed the louvers to open 30 degrees outward to allow heat to escape from the windows. The greenhouse door was handmade with all scrap materials by the students.

The greenhouse was completed on August 8th before students moved in on August 14th.
