CU Denver’s City Heights Residence Hall and Learning Commons project is now complete and open at the Auraria Campus. This 182,000 square foot project features 555 beds for student housing, rising seven stories, a 20,000 square foot dining facility, and a three-story Learning Commons wing that will include a variety of student-support and academic-support functions.

Let’s begin the tour of the project starting from the Tivoli Quad, looking towards Downtown Denver. Most of the facade on this side is comprised of brick and fits in with the rest of the Auraria Campus architecture.

As you move around the building, the Learning Commons comes into view.

On the other side of the building, facing the CU Denver Student Commons building, you are greeted with a courtyard wrapped around by the Residence Hall and Learning Commons. You also can walk through the middle of the project to the other side via the courtyard.

What used to be a field is now a nice urban corner on the Auraria Campus. With students now living on campus, it will make this area more lively all days of the week which is a win for Auraria.
