Palmer High School Construction Tour

Join AIA Colorado South members for a tour of the new Palmer High School, an ongoing Palmer High School project by RTA Architects and Perkins Eastman.

This guided jobsite tour of Palmer High School offers participants first-hand exposure to active building construction within an occupied educational campus, with an emphasis on installation of precast concrete wall panels, construction means and methods, sequencing, and coordination across multiple trades. The tour will review how work is planned, staged, and executed on a constrained, occupied school campus, including temporary protection, access control, and safety measures.

Participants will observe a range of construction activities in progress, including structural systems, building envelope installation (such as precast concrete wall panels), and interior build-out. The tour will highlight how design documents are implemented in the field, how construction teams address real-time challenges, and how coordination among architects, engineers, contractors, and inspectors ensures compliance with code requirements and maintains occupant safety and welfare.
