        Biotechnology Sciences and Engineering Building (BSE)

        Aside from its many classrooms and labs, the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building is notable for the design of its vast central atrium. The atrium, which is open to the roofline five stories above ground level, includes artwork that represents the worlds of science and engineering.

        Fun Fact: Designed by Denver artist Carolyn Braaksma, the work includes a quote by Albert Einstein ("There are two ways to live your life, as though everything is a miracle or as though nothing is a miracle."), a floor design that depicts bacterium, fossils and electrical circuits, and three-dimensional concrete relief wall panels.
