New, World-Class Interdisciplinary Building to Shape Future of Engineering, Design and Computing

Defining the Future of Engineering with New, World-Class Building

CU Denver is embarking on our highly anticipated goal of constructing a forward-thinking engineering, design, and computing building to:

House our College of Engineering, Design and Commuting

Grow interdisciplinary computing and technology initiatives

Serve as the anchor for Denver's new open innovation district

The Innovation District — one of the major goals of CU Denver’s visionary 2030 Strategic Plan — will establish a potent tech hub in the heart of downtown Denver that will grow new technology across myriad fields, from healthcare to banking and everything in between.

CU Denver and its open innovation district will catalyze economic growth, spark new companies, commercialize research, cultivate the workforce of the future, and drive social impact.

— CU Denver Chancellor Michelle Marks

Developing Tomorrow’s Workforce. Today.


To build the industries of tomorrow, we need to invest today. At CU Denver, we believe we have a distinct opportunity to become a major supplier of diverse tech talent. Not only will our students be equipped with the critical skills necessary for the jobs of the future but many will also be local, growing, and contributing to Denver's economy.

Situated on Speer Boulevard at Larimer Street, the engineering, design and computing building will establish a prominent anchor for an innovation district along one of Denver’s most traveled corridors.

Moreover, the building will serve as a hub for computational thinking to capitalize on the vast proliferation of data and the science and engineering needed to harness its power.

The innovation district will leverage metro Denver’s position as the top region in the nation for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) job growth.* It will draw on CU Denver’s laboratories, research facilities and its leading role in educating tech talent — with over 5,500 students enrolled in STEAM fields, many of whom stay local.
