CU Anschutz Medical Campus Safety and Preparedness Facility

Saunders completed this design-build project with Anderson Mason Dale (AMD) to accommodate the immediate and long-term safety needs of the growing CU Anschutz campus.

The building provides a new, consolidated headquarters for the campus safety and preparedness team including Police Operations, Electronic Security, Emergency Communications, and Emergency Management. And, the new facility has a path to becoming the campus’ first net zero energy building.

The Campus Safety and Preparedness Facility is a 26,100-square-foot building at the north frontage of 17th Place between Victor Street and Wheeling Street. Working within the framework of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus 2012 Facilities Master Plan, the project embraces the urban zone characteristics of the campus fabric outside of the core academic campus. The facility improves the arrival experience to the campus and embraces a connection with the Art Walk, signaling the eastern beginning/terminus of this important campus place.
