It’s not your grandfather’s campus any more… According to the Coloradoan, “Colorado State University is amidst the greatest campus building boom in generations, with more than $800 million dollars’ worth of construction either complete, in progress or being planned.” Today Professor Bob Lawrence will introduce former student and CSU Vice President for University Operations, Amy Parsons, to give us an update...
“For an institution where ideas are created, the concept of inspirational space matters”, according to CSU President, Tony Frank. The campus transformation is “helping cement CSU as a college choice for thousands of additional out-of-state students and support hundreds of millions of dollars in annual research grants,” adds the Coloradoan.
