A Case Study for Village Center at Gold Hill Mesa

Economic reality has produced a paradigm shift in new development in the last years resulting in an increased demand for added value in every project and continual improvement in the ‘ROI of Sustainability’ for developers.

Using LEED-ND, a new Village Center for Gold Hill Mesa brings innovation to an economically resilient, environmentally-oriented, near-zero energy, reclaimed brownfield site in Colorado Springs. The efficiency of combining soil remediation, low impact hillside infrastructure, buildings integrated into the hillside, and lessons of incremental development make for a true ‘un-siloed’ holistically sustainable project!

Learning Objectives

Verbalize the opportunities of a challenging hillside site used to create an integrated framework for buildings and infrastructure.
Compare the Brownfield site used to expand the concept of infill development while provide advantages of renewable energy placement opportunities, instead of other possible sites.
Specify the form based coding of mixed-used projects to create a development using durable, highly efficient buildings in which uses can quickly change to adapt to current market conditions.

Presenters
Mark Tremmel, John Olson, & Larry Gilland from Collaborative Design Group
