The first of more than 1,056 precast concrete panels that will eventually form Echo and Copper additions to the Summit Village housing complex were lifted into place Tuesday by construction crews.
Panel installation will continue for the next few months as the $18.1 million, 192-bed expansion to UCCS student housing takes shape, according to Carolyn Fox, architect, Facilities Services.
Echo and Copper will be complete by summer 2013 and ready for students for the fall 2013 semester.

Is there possibly a reconsideration of the name Echo? Echo Mountain was recently sold to be a private ski racing facility. http://www.echomt.com/ There are wonder local Colorado ski resorts like Eldora and Loveland that would make great choices. (Just a suggestion from a Colorado local ski resort lover!)
Good idea Laura. You may want to directly contact UCCS administrators about this – not sure anyone in Main Hall reads the comments :-)
