CSU Spur Campus – Vida – Denver, CO

Placekeeping, Programming & Public Engagement, and Design

The first urban campus for Colorado State University

“The first of three buildings to be delivered, Vida, meaning life, focuses on engaging K-12 students, families, and visitors through real-life experiences. To live is to be connected—to people, to community, to animals. The Vida building embodies this connectivity between human and animal life, as well as the connectivity of the Spur campus to the diverse cultures and Latinx ties within the surrounding neighborhoods of Globeville and Elyria-Swansea.” – CSU Spur
