Construction update (12/23/08)

Construction began on April 2 for the new Atmospheric Science West building, which will be occupied by CMMAP beginning in early 2009. It will provide much needed office space for directors, researchers, staff, students and CMMAP visitors and interns plus provide CMMAP and the Colorado State University Atmospheric Science community with a smart conference room and a multi- purpose / seminar room.

A new computer room is planned somewhere on-site to support the increasing need for high performance computing equipment and disk space.

Construction Updates

Strong winds blew out a temporary window on the west side of the new building allowing near-record low temperatures that weekend night to enter the lower floor. Temporary heaters were unable to keep up and the boiler, water heater and numerous pipes and pumps were damaged. The move-in date has been moved back, probably to mid-February.

Drywalling is almost complete and the network wiring is ongoing. You may notice trees, shrubs and grasses as well as the masonry work on the patios is complete. Native grass will be planted in the spring.
