Swinerton provided preconstruction and general contracting services for the transformation of a one-story brewpub, initially constructed in the 1980s, into a two-story spec laboratory space. The first floor features a lobby and three core and shell tenant spaces, one of which Swinerton fit out for a life sciences client under a separate contract. The second floor received a complete buildout to provide eight new laboratory spaces and six new offices for future tenants. To accommodate a second floor space, the team added 12 feet to the overall building height, while maintaining the existing roof structure. In the basement, the team constructed a new elevator, main MEP room, tenant storage, conference room, and freezer farm. Swinerton self-performed rough carpentry and cleanup.

Swinerton is providing general contracting services for the United Airlines Gate of the Future (GOTF) Program at the Denver International Airport (DEN). The project includes the modernization of 55 existing flight hold rooms within Concourse B and four hold rooms at the South Finger Regional gate area. The project will include IFC packages for Concourse B-West, B-East, and South Finger. The work will be completed during night hours with the exceptions of Gates 59, 61 and the 4 Landline gates at South Finger that allowed day work shifts.

The scope of work includes the removal of all carpet flooring, seating, podiums, barriers, equipment, and misc. items. Swinerton will coordinate with DEN and United Airlines for the management of owner assets, material disposal, installation of temporary walls, barriers, and guidance signage for the completion of the designated work, installing electrical power, data, WIFI, CCTV coverage, and fire alarm shunting to the equipment from nearby electrical rooms and telecom rooms to make sure they are powered and capable of displaying information to the traveling public. Swinerton will also install wall panels, wall finishes, painting, new carpet and flooring, new seating, chairs, tables, work areas, and passenger guidance barriers within the designed areas that include dynamic queuing signs, flight Information displays, three self-service kiosks (ELO), and new gate podiums at each hold room.

Swinerton turned a former Kohl’s department store in Louisville into a modern laboratory and office space for Biodesix, a lung disease diagnostic company. Early partnership in schematic design helped Swinerton, the client and design team to overcome challenges, including extensive, complex upgrades to the MEP systems, early procurement of long-lead items, and an expedited schedule.

The new Biodesix facility features 63,000 square feet of office and 17,000 square feet of laboratory space. For this transformative project, Swinerton gutted the building’s interior to create office and laboratories, including BSL-2 space for light chemical use, replaced the existing MEP system, and increased the structural strength of the building to accommodate additional MEP equipment on the roof.

Swinerton provided self-perform services for demolition, concrete, and drywall. The team also brought on the mechanical and electrical contractors at design development to engage in design-assist collaboration and value engineering.

Following a year of preconstruction, demolition began in October 2022.

Swinerton provided preconstruction and general contracting services for the UCHealth Anschutz Campus Parking Structure, located directly across from the Anschutz Outpatient Pavilion (AOP). The six-story, above-grade parking garage totals 422,135 square feet with two stair towers and an elevator and stair core. The garage adds parking for 1,310 vehicles, including 132 ADA-compliant spaces. An elevated pedestrian bridge connects the garage and hospital, which was assembled off site, shipped to the garage, and installed together on site. Swinerton self-performed concrete and drywall scopes of work.

More than two million patient visits take place annually at the Anschutz Medical Campus, home to the regional healthcare system’s Anschutz Outpatient Pavilion (AOP), which houses many of the hospital’s clinics. This project will help the hospital manage current and future demands for its outpatient and visitor population. The new facility represents a safe, accessible spot for people to land when they are seeking care and support for themselves or a loved one.
