April 1, 2010 | City Creek Reserve, Inc.
This project was originally designed as a 107-unit condominium building with street level retail and below grade parking. However, this full design was never realized during initial construction due to market conditions. The final scope in the GMP contract was to build just the three stories above grade retail in a core & shell condition, built to accomodate the condominium tower above when approved. The building structure is comprised of an augercast piling deep foundation system below a 12-foot thick mat foundation. The cast-in-place concrete structure has mild reinforced substructure decks and post-tensioned superstructure decks.

September 15, 2008 | City of Durango

The Durango Public Library project was a high-profile, community-focused project. Okland was asked to come up with a project budget from very preliminary conceptual sketches. The budget was then taken to bond election; when approved, Okland was hired by the City of Durango to work with the architect and team through design and construction to get the project successfully completed within the original budget. With extraordinary teaming, we successfully completed the project within 3% of the the original budget (with additional scope added to include river trail fixes and a community garden). During the initial planning of the Durango Public Library, achieving LEED Gold certification didn’t seem feasible. However, when community members insisted, the city and library wholeheartedly plunged into creating Colorado’s first LEED Gold library. The new two-story, steel framed building is located on the past Mercy Hospital site along the Animas River and features aluminum sun-mitigation sunshades, self-adjusting shades, and an automatic lighting system that dims and brightens in response to the amount of daylight. The raised flooring above the electrical and ventilation will facilitate future changes. Additional features include RFID, self-service, and an automated materials handling system. While the library gives off a decidedly “homey” feel, with its two fireplaces and lots of wood, it comes equipped with numerous computers, a teen space that feels like a café, many different areas to read, Wi-Fi inside and out, and program rooms designed to flex for a variety of uses. The project achieved LEED Gold Certification.

Originally planned for a 15-18 month construction duration, it was decided by BYU administrators, Okland/Span Construction, donors, and alumni to condense the schedule to 12 months. There were various obstacles to the 12-month fast-track construction schedule, including a two-month delay caused by harsh weather conditions. Okland/Span Construction Joint Venture was able to meet the deadline in the remaining 10 months, and the new facility was dedicated on time.
 
The new facility is considered by BYU to be the gateway of the University as it greets visitors at the campus’ main entrance. Beyond the front doors, the main floor houses a small theater as well as exhibits on the history of Brigham Young University and the life of the building’s namesake, Gordon B. Hinckley, previous President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The upper floors of the building feature office and meeting space for Alumni programs. Throughout the structure are various meeting rooms, several of which feature moveable walls and fluctuating spaces that may be configured to accommodate more than 500 people.

| Sugar House Crossing LLC
The prominent location in the heart of one of Salt Lake City’s beloved neighborhoods required a building that would be an appropriate anchor to the redevelopment of Sugar House. The six-story building's street facing façade reflects the scale and history of the commercial core of Sugar House while the residential towers reach higher, reflecting the future of Sugar House as a dense urban hub. The brick was carefully chosen to blend with both historical and modern structures in the neighborhood. Ample storefronts extend up to the second level apartments to blend with the scale of the historic facades nearby. Careful attention was given to the pedestrian experience on all sides of the building with retail storefronts that face each of the cardinal directions. The streetscape along 2100 south and the midblock pedestrian paseo were carefully coordinated to blend seamlessly with the iconic Monument Plaza. The third level apartments were designed with gorgeous balconies overlooking the plaza and street to further enliven and activate the pedestrian experience. Three levels of underground parking for residents and the public ease an already constrained urban environment.
