“This financing package will allow CSU to meet the needs of a growing student body with world-class academic and research facilities, as well as critical infrastructure to support students, faculty and staff,” said Richard Schweigert, chief financial officer of the CSU System, in a press release.
The financing package included Colorado green bonds associated with the new medical center, which is intended to achieve a Silver certification level under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Green bonds match investors with environmentally-friendly projects.
