Located in downtown Denver, CU Denver spans both sides of Speer Boulevard, meaning our students enjoy the best of both worlds. On the west, our university offers wide open green spaces, expansive pedestrian streets, 而且 multi-institutional buildings like the historic Tivoli Student Union 而且 the modern Auraria Library. East of Speer Boulevard, CU Denver features three high-rise buildings in the middle of bustling downtown, walking distance to historic LoDo, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 而且 the 16th Street Mall. Our community also includes on-campus student housing—Lynx Crossing Residence Hall 而且 City Heights Residence Hall which is designed specifically for first-year students.
Our campus is convenient for students who live throughout the metro area’s many diverse neighborhoods. Students who work downtown love that we are so close. And students who live north or south of the city along the Front Range Corridor also benefit from our centrally located campus.
Both our shared campus 而且 our downtown location contribute to an inclusive community that fosters respect for diverse students 而且 groups.
CityCenter provides university resources to civic, nonprofit, 而且 business leaders. With a street-level, retail-like location at the southwest corner of 14th & Lawrence Street, CityCenter provides a physical 而且 virtual portal for the community to connect with faculty expertise, student ingenuity, 而且 other CU Denver resources. Staffed during regular business hours, CityCenter is open to community members who would like to access the university's knowledgeable faculty, innovative student population, 而且 research capabilities.
CU Denver is a diverse teaching 而且 learning community that creates, discovers, 而且 applies knowledge to improve the health 而且 well-being of Colorado 而且 the world. The university is committed to creating educational opportunity through our strategic priorities: Student Success, Scholarly Excellence, Community Asset, Inclusive Culture, 而且 Financial Sustainability.
