NV5 Global Inc., a provider
of professional and technical
engineering and consulting solu-
tions, announced that its con-
tract was extended to provide
comprehensive project manage-
ment services for the $4.3 mil-
lion vertical expansion of the
University of Kansas Hospital’s
Cambridge Tower. NV5 has been
working with the hospital as the
program management team for
the Cambridge Tower since plan-
ning began for this expansion to
the hospital’s campus, located in
Kansas City, Kansas, in 2011.
The vertical expansion encom-
passes 177,000 square feet and
four floors, and is scheduled to
be finished in 2018. One new
floor of the expansion will be
immediately prepared for
patient occupancy, adding 32
acute-care beds. The other three
floors will be shelled for future
expansion as either acute-care
or intensive-care patient rooms.
NV5 has provided broad scope
owner’s representative services
to the hospital beginning with
facilities master planning, which
continued throughout the pro-
gramming, design and construc-
tion phases of the project.
“We are pleased that we con-
tinue to win repeat work for
large-scale state-of-the-art health
care facilities projects, in this case,
for the expansion of one of the
leading hospitals in the United
States,” said Dickerson Wright,
PE, chairman and CEO of NV5.
“Over the course of several
major projects, it has been our
privilege to serve the University
of Kansas Hospital in the man-
agement and development of
world-class health care facilities,”
said Mark Tasker, RA, project
director.

Last
month,
Haselden
topped out Graland Country
Day School’s new addition,
the Learning Commons and
Innovation Center. The new
building includes open learn-
ing spaces, science rooms and
an invention lab, as well as
conference rooms and office
space. Cuningham Group was
the project architect.
“We are excited to see struc-
tural steel complete,” said
Gardner Clute, project archi-
tect at Cuningham Group. “It’s
always fun to see your vision
taking shape. The building is
going to be a great home for
Graland’s Learning Commons
and Innovation Center. The
lobby is an open and inviting
entry to campus. The views
from the mezzanine classrooms
are amazing. All in all, we are
very pleased with the building,
progress on site, and the team
we are working with.”
Many of Graland’s students
signed the beam used in the
topping out, and watched as
it was lowered into place. “It’s
rewarding to build a space you
know will motivate kids to
learn,” said Haselden Superin-
tendent Scott McClain.
The new 23,400-square-foot
structure connects to the exist-
ing school, in which Haselden
is also remodeling approxi-
mately 19,000 sf. The remodel
includes science rooms, a con-
ference room and a restroom.
Construction is scheduled to
be finished in mid-October.

Hyder Construction is start-
ing work on a $20 million face-
lift to the Columbine Country
Club in Littleton. The original
clubhouse will come down
this spring to make way for a
45,000-square-foot new build-
ing. The new clubhouse will
include sophisticated finishes,
locker rooms, conference space,
dining areas, an auto courtyard
and a 4,000-sf wellness and fit-
ness center.
This high-end facility was
designed with European inspi-
ration by golf and country club
architect Marsh &Associates.
“The principal motif for the
clubhouse, selected by the
club’s membership during a
spirited ‘Town Hall’ gathering,
is a French Revival Château-
esque style, but with subtler
Colorado sensibilities in terms
of massing and ornamenta-
tion,” said Robert Yager, direc-
tor of architecture for Marsh
& Associates. “It’s comprised
of an asymmetrical plan with
stepped façade and multiple
intersecting roof lines. The exte-
rior is to be alternately clad
with stucco and fieldstone with
‘smeared,’ or untooled, grout
joints.
“Slate roofingwithmetal-clad
gabled accents, tall chimneys
and ‘eyebrow’ dormers contrib-
ute to the Renaissance flavor of
the architectural composition,”
Yager continued. “The main-
level arcade includes flattened
cast stone arches at openings,
with wrought-iron balustrades
imparting a slighter scale at
elevated second-floor balco-
nies. Timber trusses at princi-
pal gables express a western
influence in a complementary
manner.”
The design will give mem-
bers access to modern spaces
programmed to their specific
needs.
“The dining and lounge offer-
ings in the clubhouse are among
its most welcoming, taking
advantage of high ceilings and
expanses of glass to maximize
natural lighting and desirable
views,” Yager said. “These con-
nect directly to a series of patios
and terraces, for outdoor enjoy-
ment that is quintessentially
Colorado. The plans include an
option for a spacious ballroom
for special events, designed to
be integrated holistically with
the primary structure, now or
as future needs dictate.”
The project is scheduled for
completion in summer 2017.
Renovations to the club’s
pool and tennis area are already
underway and are expected
to be complete by Memorial
Day.
