Colorado State University Builds Engines and Energy Conversion Lab

Published 10/11/2012

Colorado State University began construction in October of 2012 on a 65,000-sf million expansion of the Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory in Fort Collins. The $18.5 million project will provide additional research space for the College of Engineering and a business incubator. LEED Platinum sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility, which will feature combined heat and power, nighttime cold storage, and the use of wind, solar, and biomass fuel sources. The project will be delivered for under $200 per square foot, a significant accomplishment for a LEED Platinum research building.
