**Boise State Construction Management Team Breaks Ground and Heads to Competition in Reno**

Two weeks ago, Boise State University's Construction Management Broncos took an exciting step forward as they broke ground on their future home—the ESI Construction Management Building. The project, which has an $8 million price tag, is currently in the final stages of fundraising. Supporters are being encouraged to contribute to the cause, including opportunities to impact named spaces and participate in initiatives like the CM Alumni Challenge. More details can be found at [this link](https://bit.ly/46slStr).

This weekend, the Construction Management team is representing Boise State in Reno, Nevada, at the Associated Schools of Construction Rocky Mountain Region 6 & 7 competition. The competition includes universities across 22 states, and last year, 55 universities and 233 teams participated. The Broncos will aim to match or surpass past successes as they compete for top honors.

The Boise community and beyond are encouraged to wish the team luck as they take on this challenge.
