Colorado Christian University Armstrong Center

The 60,000-square-foot building is the new home to the School of Music, a new library and media center, and features 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 Colorado Christian University (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 creates a blend of modernity, warmth, and tradition in the chapel but also offers structural integrity, visual appeal, and sustainability.
