Construction at CU Boulder
We recognize that construction activity on campus impacts the CU Boulder community as a whole. On this webpage, we strive to provide CU Boulder students, faculty, staff and visitors with timely updates on projects ongoing throughout the campus to help keep everyone informed about timelines, closures, safety and other impacts.
Here you will find information pages on major capital construction projects on campus, as well as a complete list of all construction projects in progress on campus.
Current construction hotspots on and near campus include:
Conference Center Hotel at Broadway and University: Construction has begun for the on campus Limelight Hotel Boulder. The project website includes renderings and FAQs, and will provide ongoing updates on construction.
NBC Demolitions: This project will demolish five buildings, including 17 housing units, that are at the end of their useful lives located on Athens Street between 17th Street and 18th Street and a single-family housing unit at 1834 Marine St. The project will provide clean sites in the North Boulder Creek (NBC) area for future on-campus housing.

30th/Colorado Pedestrian Underpass: This project will provide a number of safety, access, mobility and drainage improvements at the intersection of 30th Street and Colorado, including the installation of a pair of pedestrian underpasses.
Chilled Water Expansion Project: The renovations of chilled water services through Main Campus will require the closure of various pathways scheduled to continue through May 2023. The closures and detours are subject to periodic change. Pedestrians are asked to be mindful of signage around the area.
Engineering Center North Wing renovation: Complete reconstruction of 55,477 GSF (35,000 assignable square feet) contained within two buildings in CU's Engineering Center (EC), which are the former Aerospace Wing (now North Wing) and the North Tower.
