The University of Colorado is planning a new $100 million geosciences complex at its East Campus to bring together environmental researchers from the campus and neighboring federal labs and to house students in a major that is booming in popularity.
University of Colorado regents serving on the capital construction committee are meeting Thursday afternoon in Denver and are poised to approve the construction and renovation plans for the Boulder campus’s proposed geosciences complex. If approved, the broader Board of Regents will vote on the project later this month.
The program plan is broken into two projects: The construction of a three- to four-story 83,708 square-foot wet lab building and the renovation of an already-existing 280,000 square-foot building for a dry laboratory, classrooms and office space.
CU expects to begin designing the building next month and construct it in September 2012. Campus architects are targeting to debut the building by May 2014.
