The UCCS University Hall Renovation required an accelerated delivery schedule to ensure the building was fully ready for occupancy prior to the start of the 2025 academic year. From initial pricing through final installation, the project demanded rapid mobilization, efficient submittal processing, and precise field execution.
Project Scope
Within a four-month window, the team priced the project, executed the contract, completed all required submittals, and installed the full flooring scope across multiple material types. Careful coordination and accelerated sequencing allowed the work to be completed on schedule, ensuring the facility was ready for student occupancy when the academic year began.
The successful completion of this project under a compressed timeline highlights the team’s ability to mobilize quickly, manage parallel workflows, and deliver critical scope without compromising quality or schedule commitments.
