CU-Boulder’s utilization rates for instructional space are very high
Several colleges and schools show significant demand for space
The existing space deficit is nearly 2 million ASF growing to 3.5 million ASF by the end of the planning period.
We cannot build all the space that we need during the planning period.
Address need to renew existing buildings
Then redevelop existing areas
Then build new
Assumes that family housing must be replaced 10
