While universities across the country have been forced to conduct classes via the internet because of the threat of COVID-19, a group of engineering students at Colorado State University used the time to design a potential improvement to the proposed Glade Reservoir.
Students in a senior design class at CSU were given the task to design a fishing pier at Glade Reservoir that would comply with standards in the Americans with Disabilities Act. On May 4, they gave a presentation to Project Management Department Manager Carl Brouwer that outlined the possibilities for a fishing pier at the southern end of the reservoir. If built, it would create an inclusive opportunity for recreation at the reservoir.
Students looked at other ADA-compliant fishing piers throughout the region before designing a project that would be suitable at Glade Reservoir.
