MOUNTAINEER SQUARE
Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado
Mountaineer Square is a large mixed use residential, retail and transit center at the base of the Crested Butte ski area in Colorado. This new mountain village combines the community's need for a sense of place with the resort's need for first class amenities and a warm bed base at this destination locale. The plan incorporates viewsheds and indigenous architecture with 300,000 sf of mixed-use development. The building structural systems are steel frames with composite concrete floors, supported on spread footings. The village plaza and garage is a hybrid of precast concrete basement walls and columns, and slab on grade. The plaza deck is a topping slab with snow-melt system, over a concrete and metal deck composite slab, supported by steel beams. Precast concrete shear walls at the stair/elevator cores are utilized as the lateral force resisting system. The ground floor ballroom has a column free space achieved by using story height transfer trusses to support the floors above.
