Woodward commemorates completion of first two phases of Lincoln Campus

FORT COLLINS — Woodward Inc., a designer and manufacturer of components for the aerospace and industrial markets, on Tuesday held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of the first two phases of its Lincoln Campus in Fort Collins.

The first two phases consist of a 60,000-square-foot headquarters building and a 303,320-square-foot building that houses the company’s industrial turbomachinery systems division. The cost of the two phases totaled about $134 million.

The campus is located at 1041 Woodward Way between East Lincoln Avenue and East Mulberry Street, west of South Lemay Avenue. It occupies the former 101-acre Link-n-Greens golf course.

When built out, the Woodward Technology Center will consist of 660,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space, and is expected to employ up to 1,700 people.

Chicago-based Mortenson Construction, which has a development office in Denver, was the general contractor for the first two phases of the project. The design team on both buildings was led by Dearborn, Mich.-based Ghafari Associates LLC.

Work on the campus began in 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2023.

Woodward’s products are used in fixed-wing and rotorcraft platforms in commercial, business and military aircraft, ground vehicles and other equipment.
