Auraria Campus

Auraria Campus

Auraria Campus is an educational facility located near downtown Denver, Colorado in the United States. The campus houses facilities of three separate universities and colleges: the University of Colorado Denver (UCD), Community College of Denver, and Metropolitan State College of Denver. The campus also houses Auraria Higher Education Center, the administrative body that handles parking, maintenance, and janitorial services. The campus is located southwest of downtown, on the east side of the South Platte River and south of Cherry Creek, near the site of the original Auraria mining camp settlement of 1859.

The Auraria Campus is also home to Tivoli Union, a former brewery. It now goes by the name Tivoli Student Union, serving as a lounge and cafeteria, and housing a significant number of student organizations for all 3 schools. The 9th St. Park borders the Campus to the west, housing community outreach programs, academic departments, and other campus offices as well as a fast-food restaurant in the Mercantile building. Student housing consists of three separate apartment complexes including The Regency, the Inn at Auraria, and the Campus Village Apartments.

The Auraria Campus Events Center is located next to the Tivoli Union, and contains a 3-court gymnasium, climbing wall, workout center, pool, and dance studios. Sports leagues are run in the events center through a Web site called PlayCoed.com.
