Signage Request

The CU Denver Signage Standards dictate that all campus signs—interior, exterior, permanent, or temporary—maintain visual clarity and effectiveness, adhere to institutional branding, and contribute to a broader framework for planning and communicating building information.

If you are interested in requesting signage within one of the CU Denver-owned buildings listed below (or North Classroom*) then you've come to the right place. All other buildings on the Auraria campus have their own signage request process. To request signage within an AHEC-owned building, please visit AHEC Project Services.
