Support the Nancy Richardson Design Center Get Involved at the RDC

Inspire and empower design thinkers at Colorado State University!
The Nancy Richardson Design Center is committed to fostering entrepreneurial innovation through transformative courses, workshops, and events. Our facilities encourage CSU students, staff, and faculty from any academic department to hone their skills, build confidence in exploration, and prototype new ideas without inhibition. Whether you have a passion for design, a desire to make a difference, or simply want to join the RDC mission—there are numerous ways you can show your support.


Consider donating or volunteering at the RDC to make a long lasting and meaningful impact at CSU. Your contributions will enrich our educational programs, provide state-of-the-art fabrication equipment, and strengthen essential resources for future generations.
