Contractor: Saunders
Architect: Centerbrook with Davis Partnership Architecture
Benefits: The creation of a Center for Community supports the implementation of the Flagship 2030 Strategic Plan and the Residential Campus 2020 Plan. Quality program and support services and residential dining are essential components for the overall success of the students at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The upper floors of the Center for Community comprise a student center that will attract students because of dynamic and flexible gathering spaces and the centralized location of student programs and services such as Career Services, Counseling, and International Education. The dining center on the lower levels will increase efficiencies in operating costs by consolidating two older dining operations into one, creating a central campus production commissary and bakery center, and offering new dining experiences for students. There will also be a two story underground parking garage that will create additional parking in the area.
Update: Lower levels are under construction.
