Groundbreaking for CSU Clark Building revitalization project

What: Colorado State University is hosting a groundbreaking event for the $136 million Clark Building revitalization project. Scheduled for completion in late 2027, the second phase will replace the recently demolished Clark B Wing bridge to create a four-story building. The new structure will give campus’ most widely used academic building an extra 90,000 square feet of space for new offices, classrooms and support spaces. It will also dramatically improve the use of space and the building’s flow by connecting the first and second floors of B with both A and C wings. Currently, the A Wing of Clark is being renovated with a primary focus on increased ADA accessibility to building entrances and restrooms, as well as upgraded mechanical, electrical, wayfinding, fire and other safety systems, along with additional natural light and improved indoor air quality.  Clark A is estimated to be back online in May 2026 

Who: Speakers will include CSU President Amy Parsons, Provost and Executive Vice President Provost Marion K. Underwood, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Kjerstin Thorson, Associated Students of Colorado State University President Nick DeSalvo, and student Emily Reese. 

When: 4-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30 

Where: The northwest side of Clark C Wing in the heart of CSU’s main campus
