Project Highlight:
Growth Fund Building
The Growth Fund Office Building was designed for the following tribal departments: Growth Fund Administration, Red Willow and the Department of Energy.
Owner: Southern Ute Indian Tribe
Area: 52,000 sf
Cost: $9.2 million
Commissioned by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the building is a state-of-the-art, fully-finished, office building. The three-story structure is fronted by a circular drive that is landscaped with native trees and grasses. Designed to gently step into the hill, its concave shape creates a sheltered outdoor space.
The building’s interior houses offices for three tribal departments, conference rooms, cutting-edge audio-visual and fiber optic equipment, and data storage facilities.
Building offices radiate from the light-filled courtyard that rises three-and-a-half stories to the roof. Cherry wood accents and etched glass panels accentuate the elegance of this building.*
*This project was undertaken when Tom Obermeier was the CEO of OZ Architecture. Aleksandr Sheykhet served as Project Manager.
