The most utilized building on Colorado State University’s Fort Collins campus is officially receiving a facelift and new addition, as the Andrew Clark Building project officially broke ground.
“Clark,” as most students know it, comprises of three wings. The A-wing is known for its massive classrooms. The B-wing was known for office spaces for staff. The C-wing is known to house the College of Liberal Arts. However, the university recently demolished Clark-B and started gutting Clark-A. It is part of a revitalization project which will cost more than $137 million to complete in the coming years.
The construction comes 60 years after the original building opened to students at the heart of CSU’s campus. The facility hosts nearly 100% of students on campus for at least one class during their time at CSU.
However, as the campus and university has grown in recent decades, the building had clearly been left in the past. After calls to remodel the building by students and staff for more than 15 years, CSU secured the funding from the state to move forward with the project.
