Colorado State University (CSU) in Denver recently began site work for the $110 million 125,000-sq.-ft. Don and Susie Law Engineering Future Technologies Building, spaces4learning.com reported.

Construction completion is slated for the fall of 2028.

DLR Group designed the building, with Adolfson & Peterson Construction serving as contractors.

The facility will serve as an interdisciplinary hub for engineering, emerging technologies and computer science at CSU, according to spaces4learning.com. The building will include rapid prototype labs, a fabrication machine shop, computer labs, augmented and virtual reality suites and a robotics arena.

“The Don and Susie Law Engineering Future Technologies Building actively supports cross‑disciplinary collaboration and discovery,” said Benjami Strain, a principal and higher education design leader for DLR Group. “By making hands-on learning, research, and student support highly visible and interconnected, the design re-envisions how engineers learn today while positioning Colorado State University at the forefront of future technologies.”

The building is being designed to encourages interaction, collaboration and casual conversations among its various departments, according to spaces4learning.com. Among the included amenities will be student support services, open stairwells that “encourage chance encounters,” and active interior edges, along with quiet spaces and focus labs for heads-down academic work.

Foundation work started during the summer, according to spaces4learning.com.

“By leveraging the power of Design-Build project delivery, AP and DLR Group have broken down traditional silos to foster collaboration, innovation, problem solving, and shared success,” said Katie Hegarty, senior project manager at Adolfson & Peterson Construction. “Together, we're delivering a state-of-the-art facility and a positive project experience that will serve CSU students, faculty, and researchers for generations.”
