The CU Boulder campus is being rebuilt 鈥� brick by LEGO庐聽brick.
Roughly 1 million聽LEGO庐聽bricks take the shape of the CU Boulder campus.聽The display, built by the Colorado/Wyoming LEGO庐聽Users鈥� Group (), features Old Main, Macky Auditorium, a suspended MAVEN spacecraft (a nod to CU鈥檚 recent聽role in space exploration) Fiske Planetarium, The Hill, and dozens of other campus features. The model also shows Folsom Field with the Buffs playing聽their 2015 Homecoming game with聽the Arizona Wildcats as well as the 1981聽Rolling Stones concert. 鈥淗it the Bricks!鈥� also portrays whimsical reflections of life on campus 鈥� some realistic (think slackliners), some imaginary (keep an eye out for the shark in Varsity Pond).聽Speaking of sharks, be sure to play the 鈥淓ye Spy鈥� scavenger hunt that highlights fun special features in the exhibit.
