Step inside Northglenn City Hall, the first municipal building in Colorado designed to achieve CORE Green Building certification—a high-performance, net-zero civic hub that’s pushing boundaries.
This 32,600-square-foot facility doesn’t just house city operations; it redefines how public buildings can be built. On this exclusive tour, you’ll hear straight from the project teams who made it happen—architects, engineers, and builders—as they reveal the big wins, the hard lessons, and the behind-the-scenes decisions that brought this mass timber vision to life.
What makes this project stand out?
- Mass timber construction that slashes embodied carbon by 50%—proving that sustainability and durability go hand in hand.
- A fully electric, net-zero energy design powered by a 196-kilowatt rooftop solar array.
- And an interior that embraces natural materials, daylight, and flexibility, creating a workspace that actually enhances human performance.
Your guides from Anderson Mason Dale Architects, and the the project teams (PENDING) will unpack how they tackled the structural, MEP, and design challenges unique to mass timber in a civic setting. You’ll get up close with the timber connections, fire-rated assemblies, and seismic strategies that make this all-wood framework both resilient and beautiful.
Plus, they’ll share how this project is setting a new precedent for public buildings across the U.S.
If you want to see mass timber at scale, get insights from the teams making it happen, and walk away with practical lessons for your own projects, this tour is a must.
