Cherry Creek – Project B
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Replacing Air Handling Units and the HVAC system in Cherry Creek. The HVAC system is the original system that was installed in 1976. The new system will be more energy efficient which helps the campus meet the Auraria Campus Climate Action Plan goals. Occupants will experience a more comfortable environment in the building with more consistent airflow, heating, and cooling.
