Site Structures: Signage & Identity

Valmont Park/
Frank Shorter Statue,
Folsom Field

Boulder, Colorado

These projects depict LORIS'' design of ancillary structures that are a part of identity or larger projects.   The City of Boulder and the University of Colorado wanted to recognize Olympic Champion Frank Shorter's tremendous impact on his hometown of Boulder.  A statue of Frank Shorter was to be located where runners enter Folsom Stadium near the end of the Bolder Boulder 10 k race. Landscape architect, Design Concepts, commissioned LORIS to design the statue's plinth and foundation.

At Valmont Park in east Boulder, LORIS provided structural design for several features including aesthetic details for a concrete box culvert; two low water crossings; abutments for prefabricated pedestrian bridges; foundations for restrooms and a stone entrance sign.   The entrance sign foundation was designed with cost and longevity in mind.
