At the end of 2021, LOA Architecture was recognized in association with Adolfson & Peterson Construction with two awards for the Denver Public School’s Paul Sandoval Campus, including an Associated Builders and Contractors 2021 Excellence in Construction for general contractors in the $25 million-$100 million institutional category. Despite the challenges surrounding the pandemic, the construction was completed in just 12 months, which was five months ahead of schedule. The projects were completed in summer 2020 in advance of the start of school in August. LOA Architecture was the master architect while Adolfson & Peterson Construction was the construction manager/general contractor. Eidos Architecture was associate architect for the auxiliary gym project. While the new school buildings are on Denver Public School’s property, the courts and soccer field are on Denver Parks and Recreation’s property.
