Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Square Footage: 39,200 sq. ft.
Scope:
JR&CO had the privilege of playing a key role in the expansion of the Aerospace Building in Colorado Springs, a 90,000 sq. ft. ground-up addition to an existing office space. Tasked with protecting the full building envelope, our team delivered a high-performance roofing and architectural cladding system designed to withstand the unique environmental challenges of the Rocky Mountain region.
Roofing Excellence
This project featured the installation of a 39,200 sq. ft. Very Severe Hail (VSH) rated Carlisle 80mil TPO roof system, built with R-30 insulation, a full taper system, and an advanced electronic leak detection system. Engineered to meet FM-Global requirements, the roofing system provides exceptional resistance to fire, severe weather, and the intense conditions common to Colorado’s high-altitude climate. With durability and longevity at the forefront, this system is approved for a 30-year warranty, ensuring long-term protection and performance.
In addition to the roofing system, the project incorporated custom-painted roof hatches that seamlessly blend with the building’s design and leveling platforms designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, ensuring safe and stable access for maintenance personnel.
Architectural Cladding & Exterior Enhancements
Beyond the roof, our team expertly installed 90,000 sq. ft. of Kingspan insulated metal panels (IMP) in Bright Silver, Pewter Finish, and Dark Bronze, creating a sleek and durable exterior façade.
Additional key elements of the project included:
- A custom architectural louver screen wall with doors, enhancing aesthetics while providing essential ventilation and screening.
- An ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) canopy, adding a modern design element with long-lasting durability.
- Extruded aluminum fins, fabricated in-house to ensure unmatched quality, timeliness, and precision, meeting the exact needs of the customer while delivering a distinctive, dynamic finish to the exterior.
Each component of the architectural cladding system was designed for superior weather resistance and visual appeal, backed by a 20-year warranty for long-term performance.
JR&CO is proud to have contributed to this cutting-edge facility, reinforcing our commitment to quality craftsmanship and industry-leading building envelope solutions.
