    The University of Colorado, Denver, has received a gift from Trimble to establish a Technology Lab for the College of Engineering, Design, and Computing.

    The gift will also support the Departments or programs in Construction Engineering and Construction Management, Geography & Environmental Sciences, Physics, and Urban and Regional Planning. The lab will expand the university’s access and expertise in a customized suite of construction hardware and software products.

    The Trimble Technology Lab will provide students enrolled across relevant programs hands-on experience with a wide breadth of Trimble solutions. The lab will expand the university’s access and expertise in project management, architectural and structural analysis, design and engineering, mixed reality, 3D scanning, office-to-field solutions, and GIS data collection and GNSS positioning.

    Partnering with Trimble allows the University of Colorado, Denver to integrate the latest technology into its curricula, empowering graduates to rapidly transform how buildings and living environments are designed and constructed.

    “CU Denver is right in our backyard, providing an exciting opportunity to integrate our industry-leading technologies into a wide range of educational programs," said Allyson McDuffie, director of education & outreach at Trimble. "Their proximity enables us to work closely while ensuring easy access, training and support, and success in all aspects of implementation."

    Martin Dunn, dean of the College of Engineering, Design and Computing, said, “I am thrilled with and grateful for this exciting relationship with Trimble. It will accelerate our strategic vision to educate diverse graduates who will not only make an immediate impact in the AEC industry, but will emerge as its future leaders. The generous gift will have broad impact across our campus, nucleating the kind of interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, architects, construction managers, and scientists that is needed to create and exploit technological innovation to address grand challenges facing the built environment including digital transformation, sustainability, and the future of work and the workforce.”
