The Auraria Campus is a dynamic and vibrant higher education community located in the heart of downtown Denver. The 150-acre campus is shared by three separate and distinct institutions of higher learning: Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and University of Colorado Denver.
The employees of the Auraria Campus serve as part of a state entity, whose role is to provide and manage shared services, facilities, and property to support these prominent institutions in achieving their goals.
Conveniently located right next to all the happenings around Ball Arena and Larimer Square, our neighborhood also hosts community events and boasts some of Colorado’s most historic sites.
