University of Colorado Opens Anschutz Engineering Center

The University of Colorado opened the $22 million Anschutz Engineering Center on its Colorado Springs campus in April of 2024. Designed by OZ Architecture, the three-story, 23,000-sf annex provides the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences with teaching and research labs, maker spaces, and active learning environments. The high-performance facility also includes an aerospace engineering lab, an executive conference room, computer labs, classrooms, and faculty offices. Additionally, the 3,000-sf Design and Prototyping Center was created behind the existing engineering hall to offer further opportunities for collaboration.

GH Phipps provided construction management services with Martin/Martin as civil and structural engineer, Cator, Ruma & Associates as MEP engineer, Ambient Energy as energy engineer, and K2 as acoustical and audiovisual engineer. Ground was broken in late August of 2022 on the sustainable development, which is targeting LEED Gold certification.
