When Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced the emergency construction of two “Tier 3” field hospitals for COVID-19 patients, calls quickly went out to local contractors who could handle the work in a hurry. Overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The Ranch Events Complex in Loveland, Colorado, and the Colorado Convention Center in Denver were announced as the locations of the two alternate care sites.
Serving as HVAC contractor for the 1000-bed facility in Loveland, Apollo Mechanical contacted duct manufacturer Hercules Industries to help with duct fabrication.
