What is a watershed moment - 
A critical turning point. What it is actually is a moment in time where everything changes. A point in time when nothing after will ever be the same.
























 

The University of Colorado Boulder took another giant leap toward space Thursday with the approval by the CU Board of Regents for construction of an $82.5 million, 139,000-square-foot aerospace engineering sciences building.

First conceived in 2008 as an addition to CU's Engineering Center, the new building will house Aerospace Engineering Sciences.

In January, Ann Smead and her husband, Michael Byram, donated $10 million to the school, adding to a capital campaign well under way for the project and sponsorship by Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT).

Smead's former husband, the late H.J. "Joe" Smead, was president and CEO of Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics Corp. from 1974 to 2000. H.J. Smead held a bachelor's degree from CU Boulder, as well as a master's from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Purdue. H.J. Smead died in Vail in 2003.

The new building, to be constructed on the school's East Campus, will include an indoor flight environment for testing unmanned aerial systems and roof design with the sight lines needed for equipment to track satellites. It is slated for completion in 2019.
