Anschutz Healthcare

The Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine and Behavioral Health is a new facility located on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. This approximately 390,000 square foot, 8 story building is located on the West side of the existing Research Complex 2 (RC2) building. The project includes a linking walkway to the existing RC2 building at the second floor of both buildings. There will be an approximately 22 foot deep basement under a portion of the building, which will be designed as a shell space for a future Vivarium.  This basement will be connected to the Vivarium in the basement of the existing RC2 building with two below grade tunnels.
