The fieldhouse is located within the heart of the Miller Ranch development in Freedom Park, placing it within short walking distance of neighborhoods and schools attended by over 2,000 children and teenagers.
Sustainable Design & Build
The project is the first large-scale public/commercial building to complete Eagle County’s ECO-Build commercial program, which promotes energy- and material-efficient building design and construction practices. The project includes a 1,600 sf solar wall that harnesses the power of the sun to preheat air for the building’s heating system, a 20 kW solar photovoltaic array for onsite power generation, extensive natural daylighting, trim and millwork constructed of local beetle-kill lumber, and energy-efficient lighting and mechanical control systems.
Kalwall daylighting technique
Solar wall
The building is pre-wired for future wind turbines for additional onsite power generation. In addition, the turf field infill incorporates approximately 15,000 shredded and recycled car tires. Exceeding all attendance projections, this facility is the place to be in Edwards!
