U.S. Engineering Construction provided design-assist mechanical services for this 252-room facility, which includes a restaurant, multiple kitchens, a fitness center, and integrated parking garages. From preconstruction through completion, our team leveraged advanced modeling, prefabrication, and manufacturing technology to ensure quality, coordination, and sustainability.

With over 100 projects on the University of Colorado Boulder campus since 2005, our experience in this environment helped streamline planning and execution. The Limelight Boulder stands as a model for high-performance, all-electric design that aligns with the future of sustainable building.

MECHANICAL HIGHLIGHTS 
  • 100% all-electric mechanical and domestic water systems
  • 99% efficient electric boilers with thermal storage to manage peak loads
  • Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) units with energy recovery wheels
  • Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems for non-critical zones
  • Multi-trade prefabrication and off-site preassembly to reduce on-site construction time.

A room under construction with exposed pipes, ducts, and wiring on the ceiling, unfinished walls, and protective covering on the floor. Sunlight enters through a window on the right side. A rooftop HVAC unit with a large metal exhaust vent is installed on a flat building roof. Other ventilation ducts and equipment are visible, with a black wall in the background and a blue sky with clouds above. Several insulated pipes are labeled HEATING WATER RETURN, HEATING WATER SUPPLY, and CHILLED WATER RETURN with green and white text and arrows, running vertically along an industrial wall.
