H+L Architecture provided Architectural services for the first two phases of a 4-phased expansion of the testing and manufacturing capacity at the Ball Aerospace Fisher Complex. The scope of this project included site improvements, landscaping, parking, building design and interior design.

Module A included an expansion with associated site work and landscaping improvements and the Main Fisher Expansion. The Main Fisher Expansion consisted of a building expansion that connects two existing areas of the Fisher complex. The expansion will be built on the land currently occupied by the Fisher Cryogenics building. Construction was phased in two parts beginning around the existing Fisher Cryogenics building prior to demolition and was completed after occupants were relocated and Fisher Cryogenics was demolished. The building included space for shipping and receiving functions, multiple SCIF areas, 11- 30 ton overhead cranes, building controls, building interfaces, security alarm systems, access control, voice/data systems, wastewater treatment, humidity control, aerospace type Class 4-10,000 and Class 1-100,000 clean rooms, office space, elevator, common space, restrooms, shaker room space, open assembly space, solarium space, pull testing facilities, Thermal Vacuum Chamber (large enough to hold t railroad cars and required mechanical and electrical support spaces. Design included engineering to relocate existing vacuum jacketed liquid nitrogen lines, and additional lines, and included space and structural support for a thermal vacuum test chamber (T/VAC). Additional elements included sitework upgrades, dewatering permits, required connections to city of Boulder utilities, and relocation and upgrade of the main Public Service power feed for the complex.

Module B - Central Plant Upgrade and North Parking Improvements:

This phase included building expansion adjacent to the existing central plant facility and relocation of the Mylar lab and hazardous material storage. The new building also includes a new Central Plant space. Phasing will included switch-over from the existing Central Plant space to the new, and demolition of the old Central Plant space to be ready for tenant build out. Work was engineered such that operations of the existing facilities was not interrupted.
