Fossil Ridge High School
« Back to K-12 Education listingFort Collins, CO
If you are looking for a construction firm that knows how to please a demanding Owner, you would be hard-pressed to find an organization more qualified than Haselden Construction.
Fossil Ridge High school was designed and constructed using the District’s nationally recognized “Sustainable Design Guideline” with the goal of achieving LEED® certification. These guidelines are more than just building efficient, environmental friendly structures; rather, they encompass a complete philosophy that helps the District realize a superior learning environment with long-term cost savings. The project incorporated environmentally friendly building materials; construction waste reduction and recycling; the use of renewable energy sources; high quality and energy efficient lighting; energy efficient heating and cooling systems; sustainable site planning and landscape design; and water conservation. Fossil Ridge was the first LEED certified high school in Colorado and second in the United States.
In addition to ball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, a track & field complex, and a 600-seat auditorium, Fossil Ridge High School operates with the “school-within-a-school” concept, where the facility is divided into three smaller teaching houses to promote learning. Haselden phased the completion to allow the district to occupy the facility early and enable easy move-in.
