Construction of the campus began in September 2019, and work was completed in late 2021. Public spaces have been raised to the fourth floor making the campus specific to conventional office buildings.
The building is shaped by stacking - vertical arranging of different functions on top of each other: a parking lot on the ground floor, three floors of office spaces, a public floor with a restaurant and a conference room, and three floors with accommodation units. 

An important feature of this project is the pioneering application of the VOLUM3 platform for the cooperation of all participants in design, construction and site supervision phases.  
Every day, 139 users joined the platform and by creating (and completing) more than 1700 individual tasks, they generated more than 200 meeting reports. More than 1200 drafts were made and their delivery, alongside complete documentation, was submitted through VOLUM3. 
Thanks to VOLUM3's modules, better overview of activities, faster and better decision-making process, the completion of tasks on time, and detailed reporting were provided. This increased the overall satisfaction of all project stakeholders and reduced the risk of failure.

VOLUM3 enables construction professionals to collaborate on projects from any Internet-connected device with access to all project documents, contracts, RFIs, submittals, schedules, drawings and more.

We tested VOLUM3 with large architecture companies - they were amazed by the fact it allows them to very quickly ramp up their project and start using it for their project team(s). Most of their subcontractors were also interested in seeing VOLUM3 in action, finding it extremely easy to use and learn.

Even if you are a small company VOLUM3 enables you to compete with much larger firms by showcasing the quality of produced work directly from within the VOLUM3 Collaboration Platform.

A new higher education facility is to be constructed in the Rocky Mountain Region, which will encompass a variety of spaces including learning, office, and lab areas. This new build on campus is set to push the boundaries of both the State and campus sustainability goals.

The project has established ambitious carbon targets focused towards minimising both operating and embodied carbon, reflecting a broad commitment to sustainable and low-carbon building practices.

The final decision to implement a mass timber system for the non-lab portions of the building stands as a defining moment for this project, marking a significant departure from conventional construction practices. The ability to precisely measure the environmental advantage over concrete was not just beneficial but essential. With Preoptima's advanced capability to calculate the carbon reduction potential of timber versus concrete, the evidence was clear and compelling, decisively guiding the choice for the final structural design. This strategic, data-driven decision underscores Preoptima's pivotal role in pioneering sustainable building practices.

Bring your sketches to life:
From schematic design to construction documentation, SketchUp’s 3D architectural design software gets the (whole) job done.

Visualize in no time:
SketchUp is designed to behave like your hand — more like a pencil than complicated 3D modeling software. SketchUp gets out of your way so you can draw whatever you can imagine, efficiently. Throughout the design-build process, SketchUp helps you analyze problems and get the project under construction.

Create construction documents:
SketchUp isn’t just for 3D modeling — it’s also great for communicating your designs in 2D. Draw plans, elevations, sections, build details, and finish it off with your title blocks. SketchUp is remarkably accurate, so you can be sure that anyone working on the project will have the information they need to get the job done. The best part: when your model changes, so does your document. Simple.

Present to impress:
Tell a richer story with your model using animations, images, and videos. Create flyovers and walkthroughs that glide clients through your project. Clearly communicate your design vision by exporting high-quality images and videos that show variations and details. Want to impress your clients even more? Immerse them in projects using our augmented and virtual reality apps and watch the “wow’s” roll in.

Optimize your workflow:
3D Warehouse
Need a chair, fern, or exceptional material? Pull anything out of the world’s largest 3D model library.

Mixed reality
Tour project models with your clients in the office or on site at 1:1 scale using our range of AR/VR and mobile apps.

Extension Warehouse
Bend geometry with a single click, create photorealistic 3D architectural renderings, and more with custom extensions.

The Cadalyst piece delves deep into the nuances of conceptual design automation, underscoring how forward-thinking architecture firms like TVS are collaborating with software developers to integrate automation into the conceptual design phase. This integration not only reduces the hours spent on mundane and repetitive tasks, but also empowers designers to channel their energy into more creative “high impact” moments. Adoption of software like Skema presents a win for both firms and clients, allowing for more rapid prototyping of different layouts and configurations, and faster iterations in a project’s early stages.

A standout mention in the article is TVS’s collaboration with Skema, an innovative software developed by Atlanta-based Blue Ocean Sustainability. Skema isn’t just another design tool; it’s transformative. By harnessing data from past projects, Skema offers a dynamic platform to accelerate the conceptual design phase, and is on the cusp of some major updates (we’d share them, but we’re sworn to secrecy!). With industry veteran and Revit pioneer Marty Rozmanith as CTO, Skema is set to redefine how architects and interior designers approach design, doing so in a way that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows. By providing a conceptual design environment coupled with a BIM automation engine, Skema enables the generation of editable BIM data that can be easily used downstream in the design process – in other words, it fits into the way we already work.

We are a construction technology company based in Oakland, CA, that is innovating the construction industry by creating beautiful, affordable, and sustainable homes using 3D printing, robotics, and automation.

Our 3D printing technology allows us to produce modular houses and building components for our clients much faster than traditional construction. Our 3D printers use a thermoset composite material we invented called Light Stone Material (LSM), which hardens when exposed to UV light, making it a more robust building material.

Mighty Buildings has a near-zero waste production process, preventing 1,100 - 2,000 kg of CO2 emission per 3D printed home. We are committed to achieving Net-Zero by 2028 - making our company 22 years ahead of the construction industry.

Not only are we certified under California's Factory Built Housing program to build units using 3D printing, but we are also the first company to achieve certification under the UL 3401 standard for evaluating building structures and assemblies. We are backed by several notable International and Silicon Valley tech investors, including Khosla Ventures, Zeno Ventures, and Y Combinator.

Schematic Design (Conceptual Design)

The construction industry suffers from unpredictability, low earnings and unsustainable levels of waste and energy use. Errors in design and coordination are a primary source of risk, rework and waste. 

Up to 20% of AEC professionals time and up to 6% of the cost of a building is spent on fixing errors created during the design and planning process.

Up to 30% of new building materials go to waste as a result of mis-ordering and rework, while buildings consume 40% of global energy and resources.

The Augmenta Construction Platform aims to automate the sustainable design of buildings, dramatically reducing the time, cost, waste and uncertainty of construction projects. A fully automated building design platform in the cloud, built from the ground up around Generative AI. It creates highly cost, labor, time and energy efficient designs that are fully code compliant, error-free and constructible.

It enables a fundamentally new design process that empowers the construction industry to design and build sustainable housing, cities, and infrastructure at scale.

The first available module in the platform is dedicated to automating the design of electrical raceway systems for Engineers and Contractors.
