CSU Pueblo Modernization Project Earns LEED Platinum
The Library and Academic Resource Center Modernization at Colorado State University Pueblo in Pueblo, Colo., has become one of only 30 buildings in Colorado to earn Platinum-LEED status. As the first and tallest building constructed on the southern Colorado campus in 1965, the rejuvenated facility is now the nexus for campus cultural and academic activity.
The design team, led by Denver’s Bennett Wagner Grody Architects (BWG) in collaboration with Demmon Design Studio, held multiple design charrettes with stakeholders and staff to identify project goals and inspire the emerging design. Because of a significant asbestos abatement project within the library building, most interior spaces were gutted, providing a clean slate for interior re-organization and aesthetic modernization.
