Anschutz Health Sciences Building

Aurora, CO

The Anschutz Health Sciences Building furthers the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CU AMC)’s trajectory as one of the leading medical care, translational research, and educational facilities in the world.

The building celebrates a notable campus entry point while creating a glowing beacon and a vibrant node of activity on the quarter-mile Artwalk promenade, a major east-west campus path. The building invites the public realm of the campus inside through the use of transparency and a south facing “porch,” providing a welcoming entrance as well as a place for employees, students, and visitors to linger.

The project achieved LEED Gold certification.
