Drahota–Bryan will serve as GC on
mixed-use project in RiNo area
D
esigned by Humphries Poli Architects and developed by Littleton Capital
Partners, the $9.5 million project at 35th and Larimer is scheduled for com-
pletion in June 2016, and will feature a mix of residential and retail space
on a historically industrial block. Drahota – a Bryan Construction Company serves
as general contractor.
“The flourishing arts community in the RiNo district has been conscientious about
acknowledging the area’s industrial roots, even as it’s been transitioning to a cul-
tural center,” Drahota President Terry Drahota said. “This project respects that no-
tion and we will be offering living and working space to a growing population.”
The mixed-use development will incorporate 66 studio, one- and two-bedroom
residential units and 10,800 square feet of ground-floor retail. Featuring two street-
level courtyards, rooftop deck, and secured parking, the project will also incorpo-
rate in its design elements of the warehouses and shipping containers that once
defined the River North area.

M
etropolitan State University of Denver has a proud tradition as a local in-
stitution fostering “homegrown” talent. Along with a downtown campus,
MSU has a 17,000-square-foot facility in Greenwood Village. This “South”
campus was in need of a major face-lift after 20 years of primarily continuing edu-
cation for working adults.
Kieding focused on refreshing the brand with bright school colors, upgraded ac-
cent lighting, new furniture and glass. A monumental stair serves as the focal point
on the main floor of the suite. It connects to lower levels including new student
lounges with flat screens, furniture clusters and other collaborative areas, remod-
eled classrooms, and new audiovisual systems.

Davis Partnership designs Yetter Hall
for Colorado Christian Univiersity
Y
etter Hall marks the first new residence hall to be built at Colorado Christian
University in Lakewood since completion of the campus master plan and
housing study in 2012. It was the second building recommended by the
master plan, developed by Davis Partnership, and was dedicated in August, just one
year after construction began.
The new residence hall boasts 53 apartment-style units containing 300 beds,
hallways infused with commons areas for study and socializing, basement stor-
age for students, and outdoor greenspace. The new building embraces the exterior
materials, massing and architectural vocabularies set forth by Leprino Hall, also
designed Davis Partnership, while adding unique design elements and character
that sets it apart as a 21st century residence hall.
