CSU Spur is free and open to the public Monday-Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.
No one in the world is doing what CSU Spur is doing in the same way … at their building that is already open (Vida) they have a community-serving veterinary hospital through Dumb Friends League and visitors can watch veterinarians perform surgery on dogs and cats, they have 9 horses that live on-site and help with 7,500+ human therapy sessions each year, and underwater treadmills for horses to also receive therapy on-site.
It’s a really groundbreaking way to bring the resources of higher education to everyone (and it’s just plain cool)
A few things to know:
- Save the date for June 8 (11 am to 1 pm)
- CSU Spur will open the CSU Spur Terra building – focused on food and agriculture – think rooftop greenhouses, green roofs, vertical gardens, visible labs with scientists at work, and a teaching kitchen (with taste testing lab!) – all open and free to the public.
- Planting the living wall and green roof spaces soon
- Spur is a great free activity for the kids this summer! Day campus, school groups, families – everyone is welcome! Schedule group trips, or Spur is open 9 am to 5 pm every Monday-Saturday!
- Kids can play in the mock exam clinic
- There’s virtual reality!
- Our 9-foot kitten in the lobby meows and growls at visitors!
- Planting Community Food Access garden at CSU Terra in partnership with local nonprofits later in May.
