Residence Hall Information
Improving student retention and success is a key element of CU Denver’s Strategic Priorities. So, when students expressed a desire for a residential college experience, university leadership listened. Now officially open, the new residence hall for students offers a completely new feel to the CU Denver neighborhood.
New Connections to Campus
Studies have shown that students who live on campus stay in school, matriculate faster, perform better and feel more connected to their faculty and fellow students, tying them to the university in powerful and life-changing ways. Paired with the Learning Commons, along with the Student Commons Building and the Lola & Rob Salazar Student Wellness Center, the residence hall will create a whole new community and hub for services in the CU Denver neighborhood.
Modern, Safe, and Affordable
With over 500 beds available, this housing, dining, and learning complex helps to combat the rising rents in Denver and place students in the heart of campus, seconds away from classrooms, support services, amenities, and downtown Denver. Accessible housing for students is an attractive option for domestic Colorado and non-Colorado resident students as well as international students, helping to ease their transition to a new culture.
Heart of Campus
The new residence hall sits at the intersection of significant pedestrian, bike and bus routes. It features two dormitory wings, one six stories and the other seven stories, and includes double and triple rooms. Along with the Learning Commons wing, it's a highly visible and prominent addition to the CU Denver neighborhood offering a central gathering place that connects and interacts with the university and the greater Auraria Campus.
