MSU Denver Housing & Retail Building

ABOUT THE PROJECT

MSU Denver is constructing a 12-story student housing building. The building will include a floor dedicated to the Classroom to Career Hub (C2 Hub), which, in collaboration with Community College of Denver, connects students with career opportunities and industry partners.  The ground floor will house multiple food and beverage options for students, faculty, staff, and community members.

The building will also provide additional opportunities for MSU Denver students to live on campus addressing growing concerns about soaring housing costs in Denver. Student housing aligns with MSU Denver’s mission to make higher education more accessible, addressing the critical need for affordable on-campus living. With rising living costs and limited housing in Denver, this initiative removes barriers, fosters belonging and enhances student engagement and retention.

Project Impacts & Updates

The construction team is working on a plan to limit impacts to the campus community. There will be noise, it is unavoidable, but they are working to time the loudest work during appropriate times.
