Northrop Grumman AUC-9

Aurora, Colorado
Serious Brainpower, Smartly Housed

The Northrop Grumman AUC-9 complex serves as a major software development center for a leading aerospace and defense technology contractor. The facility integrates specialized technical infrastructure with office and collaborative spaces, supporting the complex computing and operational needs of a fast-paced technology environment.

Size

108,000 SF

Scope

  • New Construction
Designing for the Invisible Infrastructure

The design was driven by the need to accommodate highly technical systems while maintaining efficiency and flexibility. With over 200 miles of data cabling, 95 miles of fiber optic cable, 18,000 SF of raised computer flooring, and extensive rooftop HVAC and UPS systems, every aspect of the building was engineered to support advanced computing and development activities. The inclusion of a 35,000-SF computer room and a 300-seat auditorium highlights the importance of operational capacity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing within the organization.

Built to Perform, Delivered to Endure

The completed Northrop Grumman AUC-9 facility provides a robust, reliable environment for aerospace and defense software development. Despite the specialized requirements and fast-track schedule, the addition was completed and commissioned on time, enabling uninterrupted operations. The design ensures both the technical and functional needs of the organization are met while supporting collaboration, efficiency, and growth.
