Identified as “The Gateway” to the UCCS Campus, the new five story facility provides the University with a highly efficient, LEED Certified Gold office building which houses multiple administration departments for the college. The Academic Office Building was the first project on the UCCS campus to be delivered under the Design-Build delivery method where Nunn worked directly alongside the architect and owner through all phases of design and construction. This collaborative process helped meet the aggressive energy reduction goals of the project, resulting in a higher-performing building.

The building was constructed on a very tight site adjacent to the main entry to campus and a major thoroughfare to the south. All construction activities and deliveries were carefully coordinated with the University. Nunn Construction paid particular attention to laydown areas, off-site subcontractor parking, and student and faculty safety during construction.
