DEN Center of Equity and Excellence, Denver International Airport Smoky Hill Engineering teamed up with Stantec and Studio Completiva in the Center of Equity and Excellence in Aviation project. CEEA is a first of its kind development that brings together the community, DEN, CCD, and the airline industry. CEEA will be an integral part of DEN’s Vision 100, a strategic vision to successfully meet the challenge of future growth and changes in the industry. According to DEN’s website, “Vision 100 is DEN’s strategic plan that will enable DEN to prepare for and reach 100 million annual passengers. The strategic plan will serve as a blueprint to align decision-making and enable accountability so DEN can thoughtfully prepare to serve 100 million passengers in the next 8-10 years. This plan will guide DEN’s work over the next 3-5 years, the first phase of reaching Vision 100.” CEEA will be located on the fourth level of the existing Hotel Transit. Complex (HTC) at DEN south of Jeppesen Terminal. The tenant improvement will comprise approximately 65,000 square feet and be integrated into the existing building structure, circulation, and MEP systems. The fourth floor which DEN or the Westin Hotel is not utilizing, will be converted into an innovative center that houses event space(s), lecture/ training rooms, research/innovation lab, offices for CEEA, DSBO, Workforce, and Commerce Hub along with a press room, executive conference room and support spaces such as restrooms,
a dedicated room for childcare and a kitchen. Smoky Hill Engineering serves as the structural engineer of record for the project. Design of Fiber Optics Communication Line Plan and Profile The client of this project engaged Smoky Hill Engineering in planning and designing over 100 miles of fiber optics communication line in the southeast Denver metro area. Our dedicated team designed the fiber optic line and helped the client obtain permits from various jurisdictions. Our team considered the complexities of installing the fiber optic while ensuring less disturbance to the public during the design process. As the installation traversed a large area, we vouch for our team’s tenacity to maintain proper coordination, which brought the success of this project. This project has greatly improved communication in the Southeast Denver metro area by enhancing connectivity and a reliable network for the public and businesses in the region. The contribution of Smoky Hill Engineering towards improving connectivity in the southeast Denver metro area cannot be overstated; it has a real impact on the community.
