Fort Collins, CO
CSU’s College of Engineering imagined a research environment where faculty and students of biomedical engineering, bioanalytic devices, synthetic biology, health and energy, and environmental engineering could work across disciplines to solve critical problems in health, environment, and energy. The goals resulted in facility that not only enhances collaboration, but drives the entrepreneurial culture. The program accommodates 43,000 NSF of laboratories and research offices; 16,000 NSF of instructional space, and 10,000 NSF of administration and student services.
