Howell Construction joined Behavorial Analyst Certification Board, Project One Integrated Services and Humphries Poli Architects to kick off BACB’s new headquarters in the Ken Caryl Business Park. The 24,000-square-foot building is being developed for the nonprofit, which was established to meet the professional credentialing needs by behavior analysts, governments and consumers of behavior analysis services. The new building features a 70-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system that will be located on the roof of the facility and adjoining carport structures. The three-story building, situated on a two-acre site, also will include high-end finishes with an exterior cladding a combination of interlocking copper siding, native Colorado red sandstone and extensive glass. As a value-engineering strategy, Howell suggested the design be altered to incorporate storefront systems in lieu of a structural curtain wall system, which yielded significant savings to the building owner, the firm noted. The first floor of BACB includes a fitness center, locker rooms, call center and reception area. The second floor is dedicated to office space, including hard-wall offices with full-glass fronts. The third floor consists of additional offices and a large training center with an operable glass wall that opens onto a rooftop terrace with views of the Ken Caryl Valley Hogback and surrounding foothills. Completion is targeted for July.
