Clayworks in-progress

It’s happening, Golden. After four years of design, planning and collaboration. Clayworks has broken ground. Thanks to everyone taking this journey with us toward an even more vibrant and welcoming Golden. For the latest news on construction and temporary street closures, please check back regularly.

construction updates

Construction is underway on the new CoorsTek HQ building! Building demolition was fast and exciting and wrapped up in early summer of ’24. Throughout the summer months the construction team will be working on site utilities, shoring/retaining wall, and mass excavation activities in preparation to start the under slab plumbing, geothermal wells, and waterproofing scopes of work. The under slab scope of work will be followed by the concrete slabs and foundations that will continue through the end of the year and into 2025 as the team gets ready to start erecting structural steel in 2025.

current activities

  • Street Closures
    • At the request of Holder Construction (the contractor for the CoorsTek building under construction at Clayworks), the City of Golden has granted an extension for the closure of a segment of Ford Street (from Seventh to Ninth Streets) from September 27 through October 3rd and October 21st through November 8th. The closure will be in place Mondays-Fridays 7 A.M-7 P.M. The extended closure is required due to the discovery of unforeseen conditions in Ford Street and because the City of Golden will be performing work on Washington St starting October 4th through October 18th. The unforeseen conditions include abandoned utilities, foundations, and retaining walls that all had a prior life in or adjacent to Ford Street, and which now conflict with installation of new utility service for the Clayworks redevelopment project. Due to the quantity and scale of the unknown conditions, alternative strategies have been required to complete the work which have extended the closure schedule.
