History of the BRIC

The Idea

– In the 2008-2009 academic year, the ASI Senate approved the BRIC as a key initiative in the 2009-2014 ASI Strategic Plan.

– In October 2010, ASI selected C.W. Driver as the construction management firm. LPA Architects completed the schematic design for the recreation center.

The Plan

– In January 2011, the CSU Board of Trustees approved the schematic design for the recreation center.

– LPA Architects completed the construction drawings in April 2012. In May, the name, the Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex, was announced to the campus community at a special reveal event that took place in front of the future BRIC home in Bronco Commons.

– The CSU Board of Trustees approved the financial plan in July 2012. At this time, construction of the BRIC began.

The BRIC

– As construction continued on the BRIC building, the BRIC pool was completed in June 2013 and was made available for use by the Kinesiology department and Health Promotion department.

– With the opening of the BRIC approaching, the first ever BRIC job fair was held in July 2014 with 737 applicants for a final hire of 104 new student staff to operate the BRIC.

– September 2014 marked the completion of the BRIC and the opening during the “BroncoFusion“ Concert event on Friday, September 26, 2014.
