More than 100 UCCS faculty and staff joined university and community leaders near the roundabout on the western edge of campus Monday afternoon to begin the newest campus construction project, a $17.5 million expansion of Summit Village.<\/p>\n

In late May, construction will begin in earnest on two towers south and west of the current Summit Village. The project will continue until late summer 2013 and will provide space for 192 more students to live on campus, according to Susan Szpyrka, senior associate vice chancellor, Administration and Finance.<\/p>\n

Continuing the theme of Summit Village towers being named after Colorado ski areas, the new towers will be named Echo and Copper.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s groundbreaking ceremonies featured comments by Kyle Hybl, chair, CU Board of Regents; Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak; Brian Burnett, vice chancellor, Administration and Finance; and Chris Mellot, senior, a resident assistant. Szpyrka served as the event\u2019s master of ceremonies.<\/p>\n
