**Location:** Laramie, CO
**Construction Cost:** $16 M
**Completed:** 2021
**Contact:** Matt Newman, UW Director of Planning and Design

The purpose of this project was to develop a comprehensive, phased design and plan to transition and re-route all utilities that were housed in Wyoming Hall without interrupting utility connectivity to remaining facilities throughout campus. Wyoming Hall needed to be demolished to allow for a new 1,000-bed resident hall. Integral to Wyoming Hall subterranean utility were essential campus steam, city water, and a major hub for the BiSON ring IT infrastructure that connects UW directly to CU, UNC, and CSU. Through extensive coordination with the UW Utilities group, the new resident halls’ design team, and the City of Laramie, ST+B established new utility extensions and locations to accommodate the program. Placement of new infrastructure also required intensive efforts to develop licensing agreements between UW and the City of Laramie for the utilities. ST+B’s Team provided the following scope of services:

Tunnel

• Construct 560LF of full walk tunnel with concrete vault for future maintenance access.

• Extend steam and condensate within tunnel.

• Extend Low Temp Hot Water in tunnel

• Remove and replaced tunnel lids for condensate pipe removal and replacement. 300 LF of condensate piping replacement
