Northwest College Student Center
Groathouse Construction was selected as the Construction Manager at Risk for the demolition of the existing Northwest College Student Center and construction of its replacement on the same site. Groathouse was brought under contract early in the conceptual design phase and worked closely with the State of Wyoming, Northwest College, and HCM (Design Team) to create a space that met all functional needs within the established project funding.
Construction began with demolition of the original Student Center, built in 1966. The new facility is a two-story, 33,000 sf building featuring extensive glazing and open, inviting spaces. The building includes a commercial kitchen and dining area serving the community, recreation space for students, meeting rooms for student groups, office space for campus life services and security, and a new outdoor recreation area with a climbing wall. The project was completed on time and under the Guaranteed Maximum Price, reflecting our reliability as a commercial contractor in Powell WY.
