West Edge UCCS Student Housing

SERVICES RMG ENGINEERS PROVIDED FOR THIS PROJECT

  • Multi-Family Structural Engineering


Creating a memorable college experience encompasses a range of elements: engaging courses, inspiring professors, selecting a major, and forming new friendships. For non-traditional students with families, living on campus can sometimes be seen in a negative light. However, the West Edge Student Housing project challenges this notion by offering a positive and enjoyable living environment. West Edge is a newly constructed multi-family apartment complex situated on the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus. The building features 195 units, providing a total of 620 bedrooms and bathrooms. It includes a five-story parking garage, multi-level amenity spaces, and an entertainment area with a fitness room, gaming and multimedia room, and a lounge café.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

IMPACT

At RMG Engineers Group, safety is our top priority. Our structural engineering team reinforced the building with a fire-treated wood concrete slab and designed the parking garage as a ventilated pre-cast concrete structure. This design not only accommodates elevators but also exceeds the required parking ratio of 1:1, combining both the garage and surface parking.
