Suzanne & Walter Scott, Jr. Bioengineering Building at Colorado State University has a clear vision: “to create a better world for future generations.” And when the university decided to build a new sustainable and ultra thermal performing engineering building, it was created with that vision in mind.  The building’s façade incorporates large expanses of glass to allow increased daylight and visibility.  In addition to Kawneer’s ultra thermal products and systems, the building is LEED Gold® and incorporates several other sustainable features including natural ventilation in the atrium space, daylighting controls, evaporative cooling, and hot and cold water provided by a high-efficiency central plant. With its intricate aesthetics and high performance, the building is a showcase for the university to help attract new students and make the university stronger.
