Growth Fund Office Building
Ignacio, Colorado
Owner: Southern Ute Indian Tribe
Use: Gereral office, government office, data center,
business incubator
Area: 52,000 sf
Completion Date: 2005
The Growth Fund Office Building was designed for the following tribal departments:
Growth Fund Administration, Red Willow and the Department of Energy.
Commissioned by the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe,
the building is a state-
of-the-art, fully-finished,
office building. The three-
story structure is fronted
by a circular drive that is
landscaped with native trees
and grasses. Designed to
gently step into the hill, its
concave shape creates a
sheltered outdoor space.
The building's interior
houses offices for three
tribal departments,
conference rooms, cutting-
edge audio-visual and fiber
optic equipment, and data
storage facilities.
Building offices radiate from
the light-filled courtyard
that rises three-and-a-half
stories to the roof. Cherry
wood accents and etched
glass panels accentuate the
elegance of this building
.
