Farnsworth Group provided fire protection engineering design services for the Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science building on the University of Denver campus.
This $47 million, 130,000 SF, five-story engineering and computer science facility consists of classrooms, laboratories, faculty offices, and assembly areas. Fire sprinkler system design challenges that were overcome included a large domed structure, slatted ceilings, and Factory Mutual compliance. Design included standpipes and a fire pump. The facility will also be the future home of the Knoebel Center for the Study of Aging.
