The core and model for ATLAS Institute and its programs is the 66,000-square-foot, $31 million ATLAS Building. The building is a programmatically-driven, culture-changing facility that serves the campus with innovation in teaching and learning using educational technology, multidisciplinary curricula and research involving information technology, and by drawing the CU community and beyond into the networked information age through its exhibition and performance facilities and its distance learning capabilities.
