Colorado Christian University Armstrong Center

The new 60,000-square-foot building is the new home to the School of Music, a new library and media center, and feature a performance theatre with 500 seats.

The Armstrong Center, symbolizing the University’s mission to integrate faith, learning, and service, spans over 60,000 square feet. The new facility includes: the School of Music, an expanded library, industry-leading digital media studios, a 500-seat performance theater tailored to meet the needs of the CCU community, and the University’s first dedicated chapel. This building is the fifth and most ambitious project since 2015 in CCU’s development plan.

The Center encompasses five distinct and specialized uses, which to perform at the highest functional and aesthetic level, required the use of masonry, steel, concrete and timber building structures all tuned to perform with acoustical precision. 

The use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) for the large roof trusses, not only create a blend of modernity, warmth and tradition to the chapel, but offer structural integrity, visual appeal and sustainability.
