Built For This.

For more than 60 years, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has connected accessible, high-quality education with the opportunities of downtown Denver.


Now, transformative investments in student housing, career preparation and health education are creating a more connected college experience while strengthening the University’s ability to prepare students for meaningful careers and meet Colorado’s evolving workforce needs.

Together, Summit House, the Kemper Classroom to Career Hub and the Gina and Frank Day Health Institute Tower represent three major pillars of the next chapter in ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s commitment to student success.


Summit House

Opening in fall 2027, Summit House will introduce ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s first on-campus student housing, creating a more connected college experience in the heart of downtown Denver. The 12-story residence hall will accommodate approximately 550 students and feature the new Kemper Classroom to Career Hub, bringing campus life, career resources and employer connections together under one roof. With classes, community and the opportunities of Denver just steps away, Summit House will give Roadrunners a new way to live, learn and prepare for what’s next.

Gina and Frank Day Health Institute Tower

Opening in fall 2027, the Gina and Frank Day Health Institute Tower will expand ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s ability to prepare students for in-demand healthcare careers. Located at the southern gateway of the Auraria Campus, the five-story, 70,000-plus-square-foot facility will bring advanced learning environments, hands-on clinical training and community partnerships together under one roof. By connecting education with real-world experience, the tower will prepare future healthcare professionals to meet Colorado’s evolving workforce needs and improve access to care across the state.
