Pinkard Construction Co. Breaks Ground on Boulder High School Renovations/Additions

Boulder, CO - Pinkard Construction Company, with Boulder Valley School District and klipp architects, broke ground this month on the $9.4 million Boulder High School renovations and additions project.

This phased, occupied facility project includes a partial interior gut and renovation of the 75-year old main building, ADA upgrades, a new 22,300 sf gymnasium, new field house, new administration addition, plus several other additions that will increase the school’s total square footage to 260,429 sf. Major occupied facility issues include renovating a gymnasium under a tight, summer-only timetable to create a new weight room and new gymnasium in time for fall sports.

The 63,000 sf structural steel and sandstone veneer addition included classrooms, dining and kitchen facilities, office and board rooms, and a grand atrium with limestone tile. The atrium is topped by a towering, copper-trimmed dome of red clay tile.
