Earth provides the nutrients to feed the world. Terra at the Spur campus brings agriculture to life, allowing people to understand where their food comes from, the challenges that lie ahead as the global population grows rapidly, and how we can all participate in shaping our food future.
The CSU Spur Terra building will include:
The CSU Spur campus will be an art destination that reflects the local and global communities. Art at Terra will include works by Jason Bruges, Patrick Marold, and Denver’s Sandra Fettingis.
Terra broke ground in September 2020 and will open in early 2022; it is designed by Anderson Mason Dale Architects.
Terra will have a rooftop greenhouse and green-roof, showcasing and conducting research on urban agricultural techniques.
Terra’s industry food lab will have tasting booths for new product development, as part of partnerships with food-related companies.
CSU Extension’s hub at Terra will complement the Denver Extension office.
The North American Agricultural Advisory Network (NAAAN) is an emerging formal network of stakeholders in agricultural advisory services. The NAAAN links existing agricultural extension communities with one another and with stakeholders in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. The NAAAN connects with counterparts in other countries through its membership in the Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS), and focuses its work in three thematic areas: biodefense/biosecurity and management of natural disasters; climate change and soil and water management; and youth skill building and career development.
