Aspen Snowmass Base Village
15 years ago, a plan was put in place to elevate the Aspen Snowmass Base Village to a world-class resort area. BCER’s engineers were hired in 2013 to take ownership of that vision to make it a reality. The Base Village sits atop an existing three-story parking garage at the base of the ski area, and includes three new buildings and a new plaza: Limelight Hotel (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, technology, lighting, sustainable design) 100,000 sf hotel Commercial kitchen and restaurant Office space Year-round heated pool and spa Conference space Fitness center with climbing wall Built atop 3-story parking garage Lumin (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, technology, lighting, sustainable design) 20,000 sf mixed-use facility with retail at ground-level and high-end condominiums on top floor LEED Gold Certified Built atop 3-story parking garage Building 6 (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, technology, lighting sustainable design) 15,000 sf, 2-story tenant commercial retail building Food and beverage shell space Built atop 3-story parking garage Plaza (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, lighting) Ice rink in winter Pop jet fountains in summer Landscape lighting A/V for summer concerts Distributed power for farmers markets The design team made specific accommodations to adhere to small town lighting ordinances and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. The climate and elevation of the development required particular attention to make sure the mechanical systems were working efficiently. BCER took a holistic approach to designing the Base Village, paying attention to how the buildings and plaza interacted with each other. It was this ownership of the project goal that elevated the design and delivery to make this project the world-class ski village that it was intended to be.

UCCS – Village at Alpine Valley
To accommodate identified growth in student enrollment, UCCS has added student housing and a dining hall. The UCCS Village at Alpine Valley consists of four individual buildings, totaling approximately 210,000 sf. Three of the buildings, La Plata House, Cucharas House, and San Juan House, are student housing with a total of 515 beds. The student housing also includes classrooms, mail, laundry, and office spaces. The fourth building, Roaring Fork, is a dining hall with a multi-purpose space and indoor/outdoor seating with astonishing views of the mountain ranges to the west. BCER complemented Page and KSQ with Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Fire Alarm, and Technology design services in a design-build approach. The project pursued LEED Gold certification. High efficiency boilers, energy recovery units, variable speed kitchen exhaust, high efficiency super T8 lamps and LED lighting have been implemented for energy conservation. La Plata House, Cucharas House, and Roaring Fork Dining Hall all opened on schedule for the Fall 2015 Semester. San Juan House was planned for the Fall 2016 Semester.
