Colorado State University Spur Campus

Hydro Building

The Colorado State University Spur Campus project included the construction of three buildings adjacent to one another, under three separate contracts for one Owner. JE Dunn constructed all three buildings concurrently, but each in a different phase of construction from its neighbor. All three CSU Spur buildings – Vida, Terra, and Hydro – are enhancing the community in many facets.

The third and final building completed on the Spur campus, Hydro, Greek for ‘water’, is a 134,122 square foot Water Resource Center. Connected to the adjacent Terra building via a connecting bridge, Hydro’s design was inspired by the nature of flowing water and includes three stories focused on water education. The facility is unique in the world of advancing state-of-the-art practices in water, providing a place for water-oriented conversations and conferences, highlighting linkages between water and urban and rural food systems and energy, and showcasing water sustainability. With its connection to a restored section of the South Platte River in north Denver, Hydro also provides a home for community activities and hands-on water education for students and families. Major partners on site at Hydro include Denver Water and the CSU Salazar Center for North American Conversation.
