Construction Updates

October 2025

While pre-construction work at Cherry Creek Academy began in September, we held our official Groundbreaking Ceremony in October to formally mark the start of this exciting new chapter for CCA.

The event was attended by key partners, including representatives from the Cherry Creek School District, CCA's Board of Directors, the Bond Committee, and our dedicated construction partners: RTA Architects, CBRE, and GH Phipps Construction.

 

 

The primary focus of construction activities throughout October was centered on ensuring building safety and compliance with fire and safety regulations.

Specifically, the work involved creating new egress doors and alternative exits. Egress refers to the safe and continuous path of travel that occupants must follow to exit a building, structure, or area. By installing these new doors and exits, the project is proactively addressing a critical component of safety requirements as it moves toward its next stage.

This focus is essential because it directly supports the process of obtaining final permit approvals. Buildings must demonstrate adequate and safe exit strategies to receive permits from local authorities. Completing this work helps prevent delays in the permitting process and ensures the facility will meet all necessary safety codes during construction.
