Colorado Edition: Faced With A Deadline

The Nantes Library in Gilcrest, Colorado has a reflective cool roof designed to increase energy efficiency and solar panels supplying most of the building's electricity needs. It was featured in a recent episode of "Heart of a Building."

On today’s episode of Colorado Edition, we learn how the federal moratorium on evictions that’s soon to expire might impact tenants and landlords across the state. Then, we examine how the racial and ethnic diversity of faculty at Colorado’s universities impacts students. Next, we learn how Colorado towns are working to preserve their starry night skies. And, we hear about a new documentary series on Rocky Mountain PBS that shines a light on “environmentally harmonious” buildings.

Today’s guests include: Chalkbeat Colorado’s higher education reporter, Jason Gonzales; and the host and executive producer of Heart of a Building, Paul Kriescher. This episode features reporting from: KUNC economic reporter Matt Bloom; and AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellow Ashley Piccone.
