The Wyoming Capitol Square, located in Cheyenne, underwent an extensive retrofit to modernize building equipment, critical infrastructure, and public spaces. ATS Rocky Mountain provided a comprehensive Alerton BACnet building automation and control system to support the renovation and the new central utility plant, which serves five buildings. The system upgrades at the Capitol included all new mechanical and electrical systems, a new building control system, and the installation of smoke detection, evacuation, and fire suppression. The building was closed for four years as the extensive renovation took place.
Craig Hospital located in Englewood, CO specializes in spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. The facility consists of 3 buildings: East, Family Housing and the Main Hospital. ATS Rocky Mountain was selected to perform a phased replacement of the legacy Siemens control system at the Hospital’s three buildings. The hospital remained in operation throughout the project, with patients on the premises 24 hours a day.
The controls retrofit began in 2013 and was completed in 2016. For the Main Hospital building ATS replaced all the existing legacy controls utilizing Alerton hardware and Compass Operator Workstation software. For the East and Family Housing buildings ATS utilized Alerton’s BCM-FPCS to replace controls for the RTUs, chillers and boilers while integrating to the existing Siemens zone control. By utilizing the existing zone controls, ATS lowered the installation cost while updating the hospital’s critical controls infrastructure.

This was a design/build project that required ATS to work with Mtech Mechanical from the very start of the project to design the control system. The building is now the headquarters for Western Union and received the ENR Mountain States Award of merit for Office/Retail/Mixed-Use Development in 2018.
Completed in 2017 the CSU Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins brought college football back to the Colorado State University campus for the first time since 1967.
