Infrastructure and Sustainability (I&S) impacts everyone in the CU Boulder community, providing value to the campus from landscaping to major building renovation, all with the goal of fueling education and research. Much of our work includes daily operations that keep the campus machine humming, but the projects our teams tackle bring unique value to campus and are therefore worthy of annual recognition.
