A homotopy colimit of spaces is the homotopy-invariant replacement for a colimit of spaces. For a filtered diagram of CW complexes with subcomplex inclusions, the union is a model: the inclusions are cofibrations, and every sphere map and homotopy has image in a finite subcomplex. A suspension spectrum carries this construction to the corresponding homotopy colimit of spectra.
