Anschutz Engineering Center, University of Colorado Colorado Springs

Located in the heart of the UCCS campus, the Anschutz Engineering Center is foundational to the campus’ nascent aerospace engineering program. It comprises a 20,000 sf lab building housing teaching and research spaces and a detached 3,000 sf shop building dedicated to prototyping and fabrication. The building was carefully sited to preserve a sacred Native American “Tree of Peace” while also managing existing drainage patterns and presenting an appropriate face to the primary campus circulation spine.
