Completed in 2017 the CSU Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins brought college football back to the Colorado State University campus for the first time since 1967. Prior to the stadium opening, the CSU Rams played their games at Hughes Stadium across town. The 727,000 sqft facility features a 41,000-capacity stadium, training facilities, offices, an alumni center and 60,000 sqft of general classroom space. ATS Rocky Mountain provided an Alerton Compass building management system for the facility along with control of the VAVs, VFDs and the central plant. This project had an accelerated time table that required ATS to integrate the stadium’s controls into the main campus front-end before the first home game of the season which was held soon after construction was completed.

“We are ecstatic, you have exceeded our expectations. Our senior engineer actually sleeps better at night knowing ATS is servicing our system. No, really, that is no joke. I’m serious. We are very happy with getting ATS involved here.”

“I have worked with ATS for many years and their sales team has always provided top notch service in a timely manner and follow-up. As a fellow estimator I know how stressful giving customers accurate budgets with tight timelines, multiple breakouts, etc. can be. ATS always comes through and does a fantastic job. I appreciate working with ATS very much.”

“… ATS has been a great help and value to our organization by implementing many processes that normally would take me more time to finish. For example, we change our offsets to take advantage of free cooling in the spring/fall, versus winter settings where we need to concentrate on heating offsets. ATS is able to do this in a one, four-hour visit, in comparison of me spending much more time going into each VAV/TU’s/AHU/HRU, etc., to change the settings individually.”

“The value (ATS provides) to the City of Olympia is critical to our operations, productivity, troubleshooting, and energy efficiency. If I had to walk into a different position as a technician, supervisor, or director I would make sure building automation was a key part of budgeting and implementation.”

“This project (Renton High School) is an amazing example of what it looks like when a DDC retrofit is done right.”

“ATS is one of the best controls contractors out there… They self-identify a huge amount of issues. Also, they hold other trades and vendors to a higher standard because of their own drive to turn over the best product. Simply put, we wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t have them here.”

“The ATS team has been a valuable resource for our engineers, HVAC staff, and design-build contractors. They honestly have the end users’ best interest in mind and are transparent in sharing information and strategies to be more energy efficient and to keep my tenants comfortable.”

“ATS has always been very accommodating and easy to work with over the years. Their team brings a diverse group of talented individuals that are not only capable but also bring new and interesting strategies to the conversation. Our staff are very capable in troubleshooting and maintaining our systems but when we do experience an issue that needs some additional knowledge, understanding and experience we call ATS for support. The ATS team is always willing and able to help our team get us back on track in a timely manner.”

“St. Luke’s Boise Building Services has worked with ATS Inland NW on many occasions over the course of the past several years. They completed new building automation in the Boise Surgery Center on the downtown campus as well as multiple troubleshooting tasks in other buildings across the campus, including fine turning the chiller plant at the new Central Utility Plant. They have proven to be well staffed with many capable engineers, field installers, and programmers. They have also been chosen to help design the controls package for the new North Tower and Medical Office Building.

Their pricing is in line with their competition, and they provide good value for the cost. We are looking forward to partnering with them as the campus expands as they are my preferred BAS contractor.”
