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.
