Colorado State University’s bold step to build a hub for research, education and outreach linking issues related to health, food and water is coming to fruition at its new Denver campus called CSU Spur. The university is spending $200 million of state funds to build three new buildings, each supporting research and work in those fields, while also opening the entire campus as a free public learning environment.
When complete, the effort will provide CSU with nearly 300,000 sq ft of space along the South Platte River at the western edge of the 250-acre National Western Center (NWC) campus. CSU is one of the three NWC founding partners, along with the city and county of Denver and the National Western Stock Show.
