Candelas Community Center

Feasibility Study + Design

Candelas, a new high-end development in Arvada, Colorado, just northwest of Denver, is envisioned as Colorado’s place to live forward. The entire development incorporates earth-friendly features and tech-friendly amenities.

BRS was retained by the developer to create a community center with indoor amenities, including community spaces and classrooms, a fitness center, and changing rooms for the adjacent outdoor pool. In keeping with the sustainable and high-tech themes of the overall development, the project incorporates ground-source heat pumps and solar PV panels to minimize energy use, along with many other sustainable features. The project anticipates LEED^® Gold certification.
