University of Colorado Boulder Aerospace Engineering Building Nears Completion

The University of Colorado Boulder (CU) is celebrating the final stages of construction for the new Aerospace Engineering Building on their Boulder, CO, campus. The final steel beam was recently installed on the project, which broke ground in October of 2017.

The Aerospace Engineering Building is designed to serve as a place to build partnerships between CU engineering students and the aerospace industry, both within Colorado and nationally. The new facility will feature labs and collaborative learning spaces for advanced aerospace research.

Today, not only has the laptop replaced the printed pages, the rise of agile learning has turned campuses into study halls with students listening to lectures and researching topics from quads, gardens, and plazas. The challenge for architects and facility managers is to provide connectivity without cluttering the landscape with visual eyesores or creating safety hazards with extension cords.
