Featured Life Safety Projects
BCER worked on the very first Space Odyssey Exhibit for DMNS in 2002. Since then, we have completed approximately 100 projects for the facility. The latest project we have done is the newly renovated and re-envisioned Space Odyssey where a “Virtual Reality Transporter” will immerse museum-goers in Spacewalk, an Apollo 11 mission, or simply just journey through the cosmos ona Cosmos Coaster. With dynamic motion and crystal-clear high-definition audio this simulator catapults you through space with over 11,000 “stars” that use 43 miles of fiber optics. The design team worked with the museum and exhibit staff to bring the sights, sounds and smells of space to life in this exhibit. The launch simulator allows patrons to personally feel the reverberation and hear the thunderous sounds of the rocket as it cruises through the atmosphere at lift-off. BCER provided Mechanical, Electrical, Life Safety, and Technology engineering designs for this renovation.
Learn MoreJeffco Three Creeks K-8 School provides stunning views of the Front Range mountains from the rolling hills of the Candelas neighborhood. The 112,000-sf school’s design incorporates a main “spine” with three academic wings branching off. Each academic wing represents one of the three creeks in the area: Clear Creek, Coal Creek, and Boulder Creek. By providing connections for the future wing of the school (now in construction), the design prioritized future growth of the school without utilizing modular classroom buildings. Off the main spine are the shared amenities and classrooms, anchored on the north by the Learning Commons (Library) and by the Commons (Cafeteria) to the south.
Learn MoreThe Eisenhower Johnson Memorial Tunnel Fixed Fire Suppression System project is a $20,000,000 fire protection project that required fire protection engineering for the performance-based design of the system. The fire suppression system is activated by a linear heat detection system which in turn activates the fire suppression system, protecting two 2-mile long tunnels. Our design role in the Fire Protection Engineering of the project included fire modeling, live-fire testing, and design of the fire protection system. The installation was complete in late September with testing and commissioning of the system in October and completion in late November, 2015.
