MLK Apartments at Depot Plaza

Lloyd Construction partnered with the City of Tucson and the architect in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to build a two-story underground garage topped by a new five-story apartment complex, adjacent to a remodel of the existing MLK Apartments, the Ronstadt Transit Center, and the 4th Avenue Underpass projects in downtown Tucson. 

This project is pursuing LEED® Silver certification.  Lloyd Construction’s LEED® Accredited Professionals coordinated with the architectural/engineering team to achieve this certification.

Vail Academy & High School

Lloyd Construction, Vail School District, and an architect partnered in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to complete Vail Academy and High School, a new $6 million K-12 charter school for 450 students. 

This project was initially pursuing LEED® Silver Certification.  Construction began in late 2009, and so far, we have achieved a LEED® Gold rating and are working toward improving this.

Some of the features that are helping us reach our LEED® goals include the use of solar power, wind power, water harvesting, and exemplary performance in maximizing open space.  We will achieve the maximum points for energy efficiency, which is 42% more efficient than standard for new buildings.  We will also receive the maximum points that we can from recycled content, regional materials, and rapidly renewable material.  This was achieved by working as a team with the architect to select materials that would help in both categories during the design and budgeting phase of the project.
