School districts around the state have been playing catch up with the population growth experienced in the past five to 10 years. And many of the districts have money from bond issues for the construction of new schools or additions and renovations to existing schools.
In its largest job, Douglas County School District selected Haselden to manage and construct $12.5 million in additions and renovations to Highlands Ranch High School. The 22,000-acre Highlands Ranch is the largest master-planned community in the metro area.
The project includes five additions in different areas of the school and more than 200,000 sf of renovations. Construction is underway and has been phased to maintain the ongoing use of the facility during the school year.
Jefferson County School District recently awarded Haselden a contract to build its new $11.6 million Falcon Bluffs Middle School, a 113,000-sf facility designed by M+O+A Architectural Partnership. Construction begins in March.
Both Douglas and Jefferson County projects will be completed in the summer of 2003.
Private and charter schools are also feeling the demand for space.
The Denver Campus for Jewish Education in Denver is currently undergoing a $6.5-million upgrade, adding two classroom buildings and a gymnasium. The campus selected Haselden to provide construction management and general contracting services to add nearly 47,000 sf of space and renovate 7,500 sf.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Denver also entered into construction contracts with Haselden to add and renovate space at their St. Thomas More School in Englewood and St. Clare of Assisi School in Eagle.
