Rick began his Architectural career in Denver in 1984. Early in his career he was fortunate to work on several high profile projects like the Colorado Convention Center, Denver International Airport, Jefferson County Government Center, and the new Seoul, Korea International Airport. He is now a Principal and sole Owner of BURKETTDESIGN. While taking on the responsibility to run the business, he has never strayed from his love of architectural design and continues to lead design efforts for such projects as three Ronald McDonalds’ houses in Denver, the Professional Bull Riders headquarters in Pueblo CO, the Children’s Hospital Therapy Clinic in Arista CO, and the Charter Communications Regional Headquarters facility in Greenwood Village. Rick’s strengths include strategic planning, master planning, and architectural design. Working with a strong team of principals, most of whom have been with the firm for 20 plus years, he has led BURKETTDESIGN to become a nationally recognized design firm.

“Creating space that elevates the day to day existence of those who live and work in the built environment is the best part of this business. Finding the balance between design aesthetics, client budgets and schedules is the most invigorating part. Building with teams who enjoy the process and want to work together to produce something memorable is the most rewarding.”

INVASIVE SPECIES LABBURKETTDESIGN

This project was awarded the ACE Colorado award for Design/Build in 2007 to GH Phipps, the general contractor

PROJECT DATA:

50,000 sfFORT COLLINS, CO

Construction has been completed for approximately 50,000 sf of animal rooms, supporting laboratory and office space for the Invasive Species Research Building. The ISRB is an addition to the Animal Research Building (ARB) on the National Wildlife Research Campus (NWRC), a research facility for the USDA-APHIS. The ISRB features Animal Rooms and Simulated Natural Environment rooms with temperate and tropical climates, housing long term animal study. The animal room wall construction was designed to mitigate heat and moisture propagation.

The interior wall surface of the animal rooms is designed to provide optimal flexibility with research projects while maintaining a smooth, cleanable and durable surface.

A user-friendly HVAC building automation system and lighting control system will be fully integrated in the facility.

CONFIDENTIAL CLIENTBURKETTDESIGN

PROJECT DATA:

192,000 sfCONFIDENTIAL LOCATION

This confidential client’s west annex expansion project was a complex core and shell project requiring a design-build team consisting of JE Dunn Construction, Mazzetti, BURKETTDESIGN, and Martin/Martin. This project represents design-build at its best. The facility houses a clean room and MEP support space with a unique cheese slab elevated deck. Comprised of 16 inch holes situated every 24 inches on square, the design of this structure facilitates the “clean” environment required for the client’s manufacturing process as demonstrated in the images above. This clean environment is maintained by the massive amount of airflow which is filtered through HEPA filters on a continuous cycle. A major goal of this project was to integrate detailing and fabrication into the design process to facilitate prefabrication and drive innovation and speed into the design with our MEP trade partners. Pull planning and a PPC log was used to plan and help the team communicate with facility engineering leads to ensure needs ofthe project were delivered on time and on budget.

CU DAL WARD CENTERBURKETTDESIGN

PROJECT DATA:

00,000 sfBOULDER, CO

BURKETTDESIGN was selected to lead a project team for the creation of meeting rooms to support the CU football team as well as renovate existing meeting rooms. Group meetings (linebackers, lineman, special teams, running backs, quarterbacks, and special teams) were being forced to share 3 existing small meeting rooms. This created conflicts in scheduling as well as requirements for meetings occurring in remote areas away for the team’s core spaces. The project was approached from a phased basis, allowing the construction of 2 new large rooms while the existing 3 rooms remained in operation. The project involved the relocation and creation of new studio, office and support spaces for Buff Vision, the University’s over-all video support group. Several unique aspects of the existing building presented design challenges to the over-all project solution. The meetings rooms are located on the lowest basement level. This area was originally anticipated as storage and support. The design team had to incorporate new mechanical systems to support the significant occupant load, verify egress capacities.

LABORATORY FOR ATMOSPHERIC AND SPACE PHYSICS (LASP)BURKETTDESIGN

PROJECT DATA:

40,000 sfBOULDER, CO

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is a full-cycle space institute, combining all aspects of space exploration through their expertise in science, engineering, mission operations, and scientific data analysis. Their current facility includes office space, teaching facilities, mission critical launch tracking and command centers, as well as clean room manufacturing lab spaces to support their research. LASP has participated in some way on most of the NASA launches. BURKETTDESIGN recently completed an expansion project for LASP at the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. LASP had outgrown their existing facility and required collaborative areas for space scientists, engineers, mission operators and graduate students. The new environment integrates project specific teams with open workstations, private offices, shared conferencing facilities, as well as areas for minor electronics testing and research. The University of Colorado Boulder recently purchased a building on the East Campus Research Park that was originally designed and constructed for Sybase. The design team made efforts to bring this facility into minimum levels of compliance with UCB Standards, while making great use of an existing resource. This new building is sited directly northeast of the current LASP building allows for easy access for continued collaboration.
