ILIUM - ON CALL HOUSING

After a site feasibility analysis of several potential County sites, the team evaluated the most project-ready site to fill the need for on-call apartments. The Ilium Housing site is moving forward with a full architectural and engineering scope, including comprehensive coordination with civil, structural, and MEP engineering teams, while ensuring alignment with all applicable Land Use.

The project consists of a 2,500 SF two-story housing building featuring five studio units dedicated to supporting San Miguel County Sheriff's Office personnel. Located on a 0.89-acre parcel in Ilium Valley, the project strengthens essential public workforce housing in a rural, high-cost mountain community. The steep slopes and debris flow analysis has led to some cost-effective approaches to the site challenges.

The design integrates the potential options of modular construction or conventional wood framing. The units and structure are designed to modular standard for the flexibility of either direction as may be dictated by budget in the CMGC pricing stages. Site improvements will address steep hillside and access conditions, including retaining walls, grading, circulation refinements, and pedestrian connectivity.
