CSU Pueblo celebrates completion of phase 1 of building renovation

(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Colorado State University Pueblo (CSU Pueblo) hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 10, to celebrate the completion of phase one of renovations for its Technology, Education, and Engineering Building.

The project started with funding from a senate bill signed by Governor Polis in 2021, allocating $17.1 million to the university for the first phase of the renovation.

This project will ensure that all students can access cutting-edge instructional spaces, according to CSU Pueblo leadership.

“This is an amazing space. Educators, engineers, the future of our workforce in Southern Colorado and the United States… they’re going to be learning in a top-notch facility, right here at CSU Pueblo, really interacting with one another, with their faculty, and we couldn’t imagine a better outcome for everyone,” said Dr. Souder Hodge, Vice President of Operations and Advancement at CSU Pueblo.

The second phase will begin soon with $14.3 million in funding recently appointed by the state to complete the renovation of the north wing.
