Saunders Norwood Construction

PROJECT UPDATE: Exciting progress at Pikes Peak State College! Saunders Norwood Construction finished demolishing the 25-year-old firing range building and has begun vertical construction on the new state-of-the-art facility. This new range will be a top-notch resource for both Pikes Peak State College students and the Colorado Springs Police Department. Stay tuned for more updates!

United States Air Force Academy Civil Engineering cadets got a firsthand look at sustainable construction in action! They toured the Wecker Hall and Yost Plaza site, learning about innovative foundation engineering and structural design. The highlight? A net-zero facility featuring geothermal wells and solar panels. Real-world experience meets cutting-edge technology! 🏗️🌿🔧 Big thanks to Zachary Pakula with Saunders Norwood Construction for leading the tour!   #USAFAEngineering #SustainableConstruction #NetZeroBuilding

Last week, the Wecker Hall project celebrated its topping out, marking the completion of the structural framework for the Air Force Academy Foundation’s new 25,800-square-foot headquarters building. Congratulations to the project team on reaching this significant milestone! Thank you to all of our partners on this project, RTA Architects, Farnsworth Group, Inc., Matrix Design Group, Inc., HCDA Engineering Inc. and Ground Logic, who have all made this reaching this milestone possible!

PROJECT UPDATE: On August 20, at the Wecker Hall project, the prefabricated stairs were successfully installed in a single, seamless lift, representing a major milestone in the building’s construction. WESTERN SLOPE IRON & SUPPLY fabricated the staircases, while Derr & Gruenewald Construction, LLC. handled the precise placement and welding. A special thank you to our trade partners for their expertise and collaboration in making this installation a success!

Saunders Norwood Construction recently celebrated the Grand Opening of our newly completed HVAC Upgrades and Building Refresh project at the historic Pioneer Museum. Together with the City of Colorado Springs, CSNA Architects, and many other partners, we’ve helped preserve this 121-year-old landmark. The project has modernized the museum’s HVAC system, enhancing guest comfort and implementing a humidity control system to protect the longevity of the artifacts. Additionally, we’ve expanded exhibit spaces to showcase 865 more artifacts and introduced a new area where visitors can observe the meticulous restoration work of museum staff.

In September 2021, Saunders Norwood Construction completed the Safe Passage project in Colorado Springs, a safe and welcoming facility that will serve over 1,000 children. Safe Passage is a non-profit focused on supporting abused children to give them healing resources acting as the single source of contact for medical, investigative, and legal services. This space will support the vital services Safe Passage provides, primarily in El Paso and Teller Counties, and help create a sanctuary for healing and recovery. The project included the renovation of an existing facility to accommodate a shared floor plan with multiple agencies to support Safe Passage’s mission. This includes the groups of Safe Passage, CSPD (Colorado Springs Police Dept.), a Medical Clinic, KidPower, and DHS (Dept. of Human Services). All of these groups have their own space and share many areas within the renovated facility. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this project a reality. Together, we're building a safer community.  #BuildingWhatMattersinColoradoSprings www.safepassagecac.org

Last July, Saunders Norwood Construction finished up the UCHealth Memorial North Hospital Birth Center, a buildout of 12,000 square feet of existing space on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The buildout includes new post-partum patient rooms and support services as well as additional Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) patient rooms, and renovations to the nurse station and equipment rooms to support the additional patient rooms. This project represents our commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure and serving our community with excellence. A big thank you to all who contributed to this project. Your efforts are helping us pave the way for a healthier future in our community. #BuildingWhatMattersinColoradoSprings
