CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT BATC-D Chamber, FA Highbay, & EMI Chamber
Littleton,
Colorado
The Electronics Assembly Manufacturing Expansion and Remodel is used for the development, fabrication, and environmental testing of spacecraft electronics, inventory management of hardware components, assembly of fight hardware, and the testing of assemblies. The remodel and expansion consisted of the rebuild of a central plant, new construction to house inventory, a new clean room, and multiple tenant improvements. The improvements to the facility allow for more efficient production, assembly and testing of electronic products. Along with the remodeled areas, addition of a Liquid Nitrogen Tank farm and associated equipment to feed existing and new equipment to the buildings was required. Due to the added loads in the buildings, a new cooling tower, chiller and air handling equipment were required. A new electrical generator was also added to support the equipment during power outages with an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).
This project is a fast-track, build-out of an existing warehouse space to house development, manufacturing and testing space for a solid-state battery manufacturer. To meet the client’s aggressive schedule goals, the project was delivered via a design-assist model. The facility remained operational in a temporary fashion and JE Dunn coordinated with the client to ensure their ongoing administrative and testing activities were not disrupted. The facility includes 10,000 SF of hazardous Class 1, Division 2 dry room construction.

COLORADO CENTER
Tower III
Denver, Colorado
The Colorado Center Tower III project includes the core and shell precast construction of a 360,000 SF garage and office building. The building is comprised of 15 stories total with seven levels of parking and eight levels of office space. It also includes a ground floor lobby and loading docks, and a rooftop terrace. This is the third, class-A office building in the Colorado Center development and is home to JE Dunn’s Denver office.
COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Headquarters & Parking Garage
Denver, Colorado
JE Dunn constructed the five-story headquarters for the Colorado Department of Transportation which hosts 700 employees. The new building, which includes a 515-car parking garage, consolidated the existing headquarters and the Region 1 office for Denver that were located in separate buildings that were outdated and inefficient. The existing work environment made it difficult to attract the best engineers to what is the largest engineering firm in Colorado. If it wanted to attract the “best and the brightest,” CDOT recognized it needed a new home. At the same time, CDOT knew using taxpayer dollars appropriately was important. The building needed to be both attractive and cost effective.
JE Dunn worked closely with CDOT from the beginning stages of selecting a site for the building to working with CDOT employees to best understand their workplace needs. The latter was accomplished by our creating the “Keep, Toss, Create” program, which included collaborative tools to determine the “must haves” for the new space. JE Dunn used its estimating cost history program and target value approach to provide CDOT options that brought best value while staying within the budget. In the end, we eliminated the need for value engineering and stayed within budget.
DOWNTOWN DENVER PARTNERSHIP
Tenant Improvements
Denver, Colorado
This tenant improvement project included a 11,541 SF first floor office space with seven private offices, 38 open workstations, three huddle rooms, four conference rooms and six collaboration spaces. The main conference area can hold up to 40 people. The conference room borders 16th Street with a full window wall so that it’s visible to the community. This space is a collaborative area in which inspiring ideas are created and implemented to benefit downtown Denver.
GSA Building 53 Renovation
Lakewood, Colorado
Originally built in 1941 for manufacturing machine gun ammunition during WWII, GSA Building 53 underwent a complex renovation and repurposing of nearly 200,000 square feet within a 388,000 square foot building that had been renovated multiple times before. The building remained occupied throughout construction, while the project team carefully executed a complete demolition, abatement, and renovation without disrupting the tenants.
The modernization of this office space, which serves various government agencies with different needs, was akin to performing surgery in a cave — both literally and figuratively challenging. The project included a complete reroofing, managing COVID restrictions, massive containment and abatement, and meticulous planning to ensure all tenants could continue working throughout the process. This effort showcased exceptional planning, coordination, and foresight by the JE Dunn team, design team, and trade partners to keep the project on schedule and within budget.
POLSINELLI
1401 Lawrence Tenant Improvement
Denver, Colorado
This 86,000 SF tenant improvement project included the build out of the top four floors of a newly constructed 22 story building located at 1401 Lawrence St. to become Polsinelli’s primarily office in Denver. The space features a large gathering/ entertaining space on the 22nd floor with a terrace that spans the entire south elevation. Also included are conference spaces, employee café, training center, nurses center, and wellness suite. A grand stair connects all four floors.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE Innovation Center Phase 2
Basalt, Colorado
Rocky Mountain Institute’s Innovation Center was developed as a “living lab” to demonstrate how deep green buildings are contracted, designed, constructed, occupied, and most importantly, replicated. The two-story, 15,610 SF net-zeroenergy office and convening center is similar in size to 90% of U.S. commercial offices. Located in the challenging climate of Basalt, Colorado, the Innovation Center redefines how its occupants experience and control their individual comfort. The building focuses on heating and cooling people, not the air around them. By using a passive design strategy to address the key factors that affect a person’s thermal comfort the team eliminated the need for a central air conditioning system and reduced the heating to a small, distributed system -- equivalent to roughly 16 hairdryers – used only on the coldest days.
TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
Corporate Office
Westminster, Colorado
A leading location and positioning technology firm, Trimble Navigation Limited integrates a wide range of technologies for the engineering, construction, infrastructure, transportation, wireless and GPS industries world-wide. JE Dunn built Trimble’s regional headquarters in its Rockies Campus—a state-of-the-art fourstory, 125,000 SF facility situated on a 15-acre site. The building is designed to accommodate 570 employees in a highly-collaborative, open work station environment. This highly sustainable building was awarded LEED Gold certification.

NREL Energy Systems Integration
Golden, Colorado
The Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) on the campus of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is the nation’s only facility that can conduct integrated megawatt-scale testing of the components and strategies needed in order to safely move clean energy technologies onto the electrical grid “inflight” at the speed and scale required to meet federal policy.
The ESIF includes a high-performance computing and data center (HPCDC) that serves the breadth of NREL, expanding the laboratory’s capabilities in modeling and simulation of renewable energy technologies and their integration into the existing energy infrastructure. The petaflop-scale (one petaflop equals one quadrillion floating-point operations per second) high-performance computer enables largescale modeling and simulation of material properties, processes and fully integrated systems that is too expensive, too dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation.
Not only is the HPCDC the fastest computing system dedicated to renewable energy efficient and renewable energy technologies in the world, it is one of the most energy efficient data centers in the world operating at a power usage effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.05 annual average. This project was awarded LEED Platinum.

It features highly efficient and flexible labs designed and constructed to support interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
The building includes a large lecture hall, small group learning spaces, flexible classrooms, a visualization center, and teaching labs. Learning takes place informally in a number of other places as well, which is why spaces like the gallery, café, and conference rooms were all organized around an interior “main street” concept. This is a place for students to gather for both academic and social purposes.
A core laboratory solution was included into the building to enhance faculty collaboration and help keep shared equipment costs low. The integration of equipment required extensive coordination between the design and construction teams to ensure a fully functional core lab was ready for use on day one of the building opening. In addition to core labs, the building also includes an AAALAC accredited vivarium that is shared by the research faculty for the housing of research animals.
The project was awarded LEED Platinum, the most sustainable achievement awarded by the US Green Building Council.

GSA Building 53 Renovation
Lakewood, Colorado
Originally built in 1941 for manufacturing machine gun ammunition during WWII, GSA Building 53 underwent a complex renovation and repurposing of nearly 200,000 SF within a 388,000 SF building that had been renovated multiple times before. The building remained occupied throughout construction, while the project team carefully executed a complete demolition, abatement, and renovation without disrupting the tenants.
The modernization of this office space, which serves various government agencies with different needs, was akin to performing surgery in a cave — both literally and figuratively challenging. The project included a complete reroofing, managing COVID restrictions, massive containment and abatement, and meticulous planning to ensure all tenants could continue working throughout the process. This effort showcased exceptional planning, coordination, and foresight by the JE Dunn team, design team, and trade partners to keep the project on schedule and within budget.

UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY
Cadet Chapel Historic Restoration
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Renovation of the Historic U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado is significant as the Cadet Chapel is considered one of the most recognized icons in the U.S. and is the most visited Colorado landmark. The Cadet Chapel was built in 1963 and designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago; it was named a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2004. It is home to six worship spaces; a 1,950-pipe organ; and a 4,518-pipe organ. The Chapel stands 150 feet tall and is most known for its 17 metal spires, or tetrahedrons, enclosed with aluminum panels and Dalle de Verre stained glass. It includes a Protestant chapel, a Catholic chapel, a Jewish synagogue, a Muslim Mosque, a Buddhist temple, and All Faiths rooms.
JE Dunn constructed a super structure over the Chapel to protect the building from weather as they disassembled the structure for refurbishing. The organs, Protestant chapel pews, and stained-glass windows were removed for refurbishment, preserving all original pieces and the history of the Chapel.
This project is currently in progress.
