OLLI Experience: Tour of CSU Spur Campus (OFFSITE)

Colorado State University's satellite campus, CSU Spur at the National Western Center, is officially complete and ready for visitors! The "first-of-its-kind" facility provides a space to support scientists and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers in the water, agriculture, and health industries. This tour will give you behind-the- scenes access to all three buildings that comprise the state-of-the- art CSU Spur complex – Vida, Terra, and Hydro. Check out hands-on exhibits, research labs, and an active veterinary clinic. As part of this highlight tour, participants will prepare a nutritious snack under the direction of registered dietitian and chef, Bailey Carr, from the Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center at Spur. Please plan to arrive in the Bear Creek classroom located on the second floor of the Hydro Building by 10am and either bring a sack lunch or grab a meal from the Western Daughter’s café located in the lobby of Hydro Building. 

Dr. Jim Bradeen has been Colorado State University’s associate vice president for CSU Spur strategy since 2022. He came to CSU from the University of Minnesota, where he served as a professor and head of the Department of Plant Pathology for eight years. 

Dan Goldhamer has a professional career spanning the public and private sectors as a community educator, researcher, and entrepreneur. He currently serves as the Director of Programs for the Office of Engagement and Extension at CSU SPUR.
