Located in Salt Lake City, UT, the City Creek Center is a mixed-use development that features a replica of the area’s historic City Creek running through it, complete with 300 live trout, more than 600 trees and hundreds of native plants. In addition, the 23-acre site features numerous fountain experiences constructed of natural stone to enhance the locale, which highlights Utah’s native landscape. The fountains create a focal point for several gathering places throughout the outdoor mall. The project scored 34 LEED points, out of 62, making it a LEED Gold project.
The stone and fabrication was done by Coldspring, located in Cold Spring, MN. “Coldspring worked very closely with the design team to select the proper stone, as well as ensure their designs would be created to match their vision,” said Jason Kron, director of sales for Coldspring. “The design team knew Coldspring’s technology capabilities with modeling software and CNC fabrication would be required to produce the stones’ complex geometries with exact precision. Coldspring has completed a number of projects with WET Design in the past, and WET Design felt confident in Coldspring’s ability to produce complex, quality work on time and in budget.”
