A new place for aerospace

We are constructing an approximately 180,000-square-foot aerospace engineering building that will provide world-class learning and research space. Work is nearly completed and a ribbon cutting ceremony is planned to start the Fall 2019 semester.

Colorado is a hub of our nation's aerospace industry, and this facility will further position the university at the center of the innovation ecosystem.
