The park school

Renovations to Lynx Crossing Residence Hall covered a broad scope of interior, exterior, signage, and site-related updates. Major interior renovations included main lobby redesign, public restroom updates, and full unit kitchen replacements. Door hardware, access control, fire alarm, and mechanical controls were also upgraded throughout the building to comply with CU Denver standards. Exterior improvements included new campus and building signage and parking lot extension with lighting for enhanced accessibility.

Both buildings were constructed with interior concrete block walls, insufficient HVAC systems, exterior masonry in need of repair, windows in need of replacement, and a general space planning strategy not conducive to the needs of modern students. Our in-house multi-disciplinary team was able to program and design the completed renovation of these facilities to meet Morgan student and Morgan resident life / facilities team needs. The renovation also includes a welcoming multipurpose and activated outdoor space for students to host small events. The design of a new terrace on the north side of Baldwin Hall provides a quieter space for students to study and enjoy views of the historic quad.

The 10-story east tower was built in 1959, with the west tower added in 1960. The building currently houses 750 students in two, three and four bedroom apartments. The east tower construction consists of a steel composite deck system on concrete columns, with a two-pipe radiant valence heating and cooling system. The west tower construction consists of cast-in-place concrete with a two-pipe through-wall fan-coil heating and cooling system. Loyola acquired the facility in 1985 and has executed a variety of renovations to spaces and systems. The scope of work includes reviewing the previously prepared Existing Conditions and System Recommendations Report, meeting with Loyola staff, and working on a design analysis of options for interior improvements.
