On Monday, Oct. 5, Colorado Athletics and Staff Council hosted an open house tour of the new facilities located next to Folsom Field.

One long-time staff member听recalled the open house when Dal Ward was built, saying, "at that time we thought Dal Ward was really amazing, but this new facility goes way beyond Dal Ward."

The group met in the Byron R. White Club Level on the east side of Folsom Field. Athletic Director Rick George welcomed the approximately 150 staff in attendance by providing an overview of the facility and an update on Athletic Department goals. Staff Council and Spirit Squad members were positioned around the facility to direct staff through the tour and keep people from getting lost. One of the favorite spots was the rooftop terrace, featuring amazing views of campus and the mountains.

Shared one attendee, "the new facility is the right combination of state-of-the-art tools, housed in a building honoring past accomplishments and CU鈥檚 traditional look."

Thanks to Athletics for hosting the reception, Spirit Squad members for keeping us on the right path, Chip, for well... being Chip, and Linda Cross-Hagar for volunteering to help as a non-staff council member. Go Buffs!
