This was a new 45,600 SF four-story building at CSU. The building houses the Computer Science Department, including faculty and staff offices, classrooms, and conference rooms. The structure is structural steel and masonry with a glass curtain wall on the west side of the building. Construction included raised access floors acting as an under-floor air distribution system (UFAD).

The CSU Durrell Center was designed and built to achieve a LEED Gold rating for Commercial Interiors. The project helped to revitalize a dated building by providing a greatly improved dining facility with six dining venues on the second floor and an improved student gathering space for study, relaxation, activities and meetings. Additionally, student programming and summer conference spaces were built on the lower level including a large, multi-purpose room that can accommodate more than 200 people and smaller rooms that can be used for meetings or study rooms. This 44,408 SF remodel incorporated a wide array of green features. The building automation systems were completely overhauled and replaced with energy efficient mechanical and lighting control systems. A huge emphasis was placed on using local materials as well as materials with high recycled content. The construction crews achieved a 75% waste diversion rate from landfills through the on-site recycling program. Some other highlights were the use of FSC certified wood for built in millwork, trim, and ceiling features. Boxcar wood taken from old railway cars was refinished and reused for flooring and furniture. Interior finishes were installed with strict adherence to indoor air quality standards and VOC limits. Won an Award of Merit by ENR Best Projects. 

This project is a new two-story, 27,716 SF facility for the Paleontology program at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. The building houses approximately 300,000 fossil specimens, one of the largest collections in the United States. The Center provides academic researchers with access to study a world class collection, serve as an educational resource for training undergraduate and graduate students, and be a tool for outreach to the local and regional communities served by the University.

This was a $12M project at the University of Northern Colorado which included multiple different areas of campus. MYC renovated the Butler Hancock Sports Pavilion to include a new sound system, Daktronics message and scoreboard center, new hall of athletics, ticket center, ATM, renovated restrooms, VIP floor seating, chair back seating, and bleachers. MYC also built a new Butler Hancock Athletic Center which included two lit state-of-the-art synthetic turf multi-purpose fields, four lighted irrigated natural grass practice fields, field house including restrooms, ticket office, concessions, a sports medicine facility, and lights added to the existing softball field.

MYC worked on the phased renovation of the ACC Parker campus health and physics labs. The project scope of work included renovating general classrooms into medical laboratories/physics rooms while the building was occupied. The scope included a new air handling unit and controls to serve the building which required structural roof reinforcing and patching. The new spaces received enhanced audio/visual systems for lecturing, lab grade casework with epoxy countertops, and modern lab equipment including autoclaves and fume hoods. This project required a large focus on public separation, cleanliness, dust control, and indoor air quality.

MYC renovated the façade of the Auraria Higher Education Center’s five-story Administration Building located at 1201 5th Street in Denver, Colorado. The façade had multiple deficiencies and thus had moisture and wind infiltration mainly at and around the ribbon windows. The project was phased because of limited funding. Phase I of the renovations included the buildings west side including the 10 feet return on the south side, approx. 7000 SF. The scope included deglazing the storefront system (exterior mounted glazing), and removing a few rows of the masonry above the storefront to evaluate and fix the flashing, end damning system, and weeping. At the bottom of the storefront system new flashing was added at the sill location. Additional masonry was removed to confirm flashing and proper masonry weeps and flashing, temporary plastic walls with studs was erected while the glazing was removed in the immediate room. Some tuck pointing was needed. The building was occupied during the duration of the project.

Project scope included interior remodel of the AHEC Library which is the creative heart of the newly renovated library. The project included a large glass garage door.

Project scope included interior remodel of classrooms and offices and includes laboratory casework.

The CSU Transit center project was a 14,458 SF addition and 7,749 SF renovation. Work included site excavation and demolition, renovation, and addition to existing facility, utilities, grading, landscaping, and irrigation. All work was accomplished while the busy student center was fully occupied by students and staff. LEED Gold Certified exceeded 90% recycling goal, natural day lighting, and salvaged and refurbished existing materials. MYC worked closely with the design team and the LEED administrator for the project and acquired enough points for LEED Gold, thus exceeding the original goal of the project LEED Silver.

This project was for the quick service dining renovation at Libby Hall. A majority of the work occurred in the kitchen and dining seating areas, but also included mechanical, painting, and electrical work throughout the remaining floors. Work included demolition of existing ceilings, flooring, and FRP wall panels in the dish room, installation of light gauge metal framing new walls with drywall and new epoxy floor coatings, new electrical panels and wiring, new electrical receptacles and lighting, new air handling unit with associated piping and ductwork, residential kitchen appliances and cabinets, new panelized walk-in freezer and dish machine, refurbishment of existing food service equipment, installation of new food service equipment, and new lighting fixtures and finishes.

The University Memorial Center (UMC) at the University of Colorado Boulder is a hub of student engagement and community. Mark Young Construction had the honor of performing a two-phase renovation project to portions of the 2nd and 3rd floors. Phase 1 included the renovation of a standard office suite into the new home of the Center for Student Involvement (CSI), a campus organization that facilitates student organizations, leadership opportunities, and campus activities and events. This phase included gutting the interior of about 5,600 SF of space and building out new offices and meeting areas. The new public space features a reception desk and downlit writable glass wall with views through full height glass walls into the adjacent office suite. Minor mechanical upgrades were performed and electronic door access control was added. The modern floor and wall finishes and accent wall graphics create a welcoming space for active students.
