The Foucault pendulum was the center of attention when the Science and Engineering Building opened last month

When it opened last month, the Science and Engineering building brought much-needed teaching and research laboratories, faculty offices and classrooms to the campus. It also brought prestigious honors from the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES).

The society named the facility its building of the year in the category of institutional buildings. Annual winners are considered among the best examples of energy-efficient design and functional architecture in the state.

The LEED-certified (gold) building brings into a single facility the departments of biology, physics, mechanical and aerospace engineering, the Institute for Science and Space Studies, and the CU Institute for Bioenergetics.

For more on the building and the award, see the CRES Web site.
