<div><font face="BerkOldsty Bk BT" size="2" color="black"><span><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"><span>Denver, CO – To commemorate its 70 years in Colorado, Swinerton Builders launched Discovery Builders, a six-week educational program designed to expand awareness about the career opportunities available in the fields of construction, architecture, and engineering. Each week, students at The Academy, a charter school in Adams 12 Five Star Schools, gained insight about a new aspect of the industry from Swinerton employees and experts in architecture and engineering.</span></font></span></font></div>

The luxury hotel in downtown Denver is one of Swinerton’s landmark projects and the food used to construct the building was donated to Community Food Share for distribution to those in need.</span></font></span></font></div>

<div><font face="BerkOldsty Bk BT" size="2" color="black"><span><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"><span> “We’ve helped many local public entities develop the facilities they need to accommodate expanding populations; we’ve built new corporate campuses and offices for some of the area’s most prominent employers – including Google and Avaya Communications, and we’ve constructed large federal projects at Peterson, Schriever and Buckley Air Force Bases,” said Scott Conrad, Swinerton’s Colorado division manager and vice president.</span></font></span></font></div>
<div><font face="BerkOldsty Bk BT" size="2" color="black"><span><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"><span>Conrad said the company’s success in Colorado is due to the strong partnerships it has built with clients and the work of its highly skilled staff. Some Swinerton employees have spent their entire careers with the company and have passed on their deep knowledge by mentoring new team members throughout the years. The company is also expanding its capabilities by increasing its professional staff by 20 percent this year. </span></font><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"><span><strike><br/></strike></span></font></span></font></div>
