The Islands of Life Building (Phase III) – Pueblo Zoo

Posted by admin - October 16, 2012 - Specialty Project
Location:Pueblo, CO
Owner:City of Pueblo
Architect:Robert J. Hart, Jr.
General Contractor:Arc Valley Construction, Inc.
Construction Period:Sep 2005 - Apr 2007
LEED® Rating:Not Applicable
Description:This project consisted of the construction of exhibit “shells” in the Animal House.  The “exhibits” were constructed under separate contract.  A great deal of coordination was necessary between the General Contractor and the Exhibit Contractor. The interior work was completed in two phases (before exhibit work and fi nalization after exhibits were completed). The “exhibits” took approximately 3 ½ to 4 months to complete. During construction of the “exhibits” it was necessary for the different trades (subcontractors) to coordinate their work with the exhibit contractor.  During construction and under another separate contract the Owner provided the geothermal loop field, drilling and piping. The geothermal groundwork was tied to the heat pumps located in the Animal House.  The geothermal system provides for the heating and cooling of the Animal House.
