A new place for aerospace

We have opened a dedicated, approximately 180,000-square-foot aerospace engineering building to provide world-class learning and research space. Work wrapped up over the summer and a formal ribbon cutting was held August 26, 2019.

Colorado is a hub of our nation's aerospace industry, and this facility further positions CU Boulder at the center of the innovation ecosystem.
