The University of Colorado Denver, shortened as CU Denver, UC Denver, or UCD, is a public university^[3] in the United States state of Colorado. It is one of three schools of the University of Colorado system.^[13] The university has two campuses — one in downtown Denver at the Auraria Campus, and the other at the Anschutz Medical Campus located in neighboring Aurora.^[13] The single university is the result of the 2004 consolidation of the "University of Colorado at Denver" and "University of Colorado Health Sciences Center".^[14] The official name of the university is University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus.^[15]

The University of Colorado Denver is adjacent to its primary teaching hospital, the University of Colorado Hospital, on the Anschutz Medical Campus.^[16] It is also affiliated with the neighboring Children's Hospital^[17], and with the National Jewish Medical and Research Center^[18] and Denver Health Medical Center in Denver. There are currently more than 27,000 students at the school's two physical campuses in downtown Denver and in Aurora.^[7] The school also offers classes via CU Online.

The University of Colorado Denver is the largest research institution in Colorado, attracting more than $375 million in research grants annually,^[19] and granting more graduate degrees than any other institution in the state.^[3] UC Denver, along with University of Colorado Hospital and University Physicians, Inc.,^[20] employs more than 12,200 Coloradans, making it one of the metro Denver area's top employers.^[21] The university serves more than 500,000 patients a year through its hospital and clinical services.^[21]

History

University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

Old Main in Boulder, where the School of Medicine first started.

The University of Colorado created the Department of Medicine and Surgery in September 1883 in the Old Main building on the Boulder campus. The Department of Nursing opened in 1898.^[22]

By 1892, the last two years of classes were taught in Denver because the larger population afforded more practical experience. This practice triggered something of a turf battle with the University of Denver’s medical school and the subsequent legal battle went to the state Supreme Court.^[23] In 1897, the court found that CU’s charter restricted them to Boulder. However, in 1910, CU got an amendment to the state Constitution passed which allowed them to move back to Denver.^[22] In 1911, the School of Medicine combined with the Denver and Gross Medical College to form a larger school with a more comprehensive program, paving the way for the school's permanent move to Denver.^[1][22] In 1925, the School of Medicine moved to the campus on Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver.^[22][24] This would become the modern-day University of Colorado Health Sciences Center ("UCHSC").

In 1995, the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center was officially put on the Base Realignment and Closure list,^[25] after which officials from the Health Sciences Center, University of Colorado Hospital and the City of Aurora presented a proposal to the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C. to repurpose the decommissioned base as an academic health center.^[26] In 1999, the Army base was closed under the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure action.^[27] In 2004, the first UCHSC labs moved from Denver to the research towers on the Fitzsimons campus.^[28] In 2006, the Fitzsimons campus of UCHSC was renamed the Anschutz Medical Campus in recognition of philanthropic donations from Philip and Nancy Anschutz.^[29] By the end of 2008, academic and research operations of all UC Denver health sciences schools and colleges relocated from the Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard campus to the new Anschutz campus, joining the affiliated University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital.^[22]

University of Colorado at Denver

The University of Colorado Denver on the Downtown Campus

The University of Colorado at Denver began as the Extension Center of University of Colorado's Department of Correspondence and Extension, which was established in 1912.^[2] In 1938, the Extension Center acquired permanent quarters in Denver in the C.A. Johnson Building at 509 17th St., where a single, full-time faculty member ran the school with the help of part-time teachers.^[30] In 1947, the Extension Center moved into the Fraternal Building at 1405 Glenarm Place.^[31] In 1956, the University acquired the Denver Tramway Company Building at 14th and Arapahoe Streets (now the Hotel Teatro and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Tramway building).^[2][31] In 1964, the Extension Center was renamed the University of Colorado - Denver Center, and in 1974 it became the Denver campus of the University of Colorado, or University of Colorado at Denver.^[31][32] Between 1973 and 1976, the State of Colorado built the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) on a 127-acre (0.51 km²) downtown campus to be shared by the University of Colorado at Denver, the Metropolitan State College of Denver and the Community College of Denver.^[33] In 1977, the Denver campus expanded to the newly opened AHEC, and later to office buildings on 14th Street and on Lawrence Street.^[34]

Merger and Renaming

In the summer of 2004, the University of Colorado at Denver and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center merged to create the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (“UCDHSC”).^[35] As a result, the University of Colorado encompasses three institutions, down from four.

On October 29, 2007, the board of regents voted to rename UCDHSC as the University of Colorado Denver,^[36] consisting of the Anschutz Medical Campus and the Downtown Campus. This has reportedly been a source of frustration for the City of Aurora, whose representatives feel slighted that the location of one of the university's two campuses is not reflected in the university's name. In 2008, lawmakers asked the CU board of regents to replace "Denver" with "Aurora" from the university's name while referring to the Anschutz Medical Campus, which the regents refused.^[37] One state senator has proposed the moniker "University of Colorado Denver/Aurora".^[38] In 2010, it was reported that CU would drop the term "Denver" from the Anschutz Medical Campus' full name, referring to it only as "University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus".^[39]

As of August 2011, after the latest rebranding,^[15] the institution should be referred to as University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus (including the vertical bar "|"), while its legal name is University of Colorado Denver. The primary name of the Anschutz Medical Campus is University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The primary name of the Denver Campus (previously Downtown Campus) is University of Colorado Denver and it can be referred to as CU Denver but not UC Denver. The domain name for the whole institution is ucdenver.edu, while the previous domain name cudenver.edu was turned off in July 2010.^[40]

Campuses

The Denver Campus, part of the Auraria Campus,^[41] is located to the southwest of downtown Denver in the Auraria Neighborhood, on Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway. UC Denver shares the Auraria Campus with two additional institutes of higher education: Metropolitan State College of Denver and the Community College of Denver.^[42] Regional Transportation District's (RTD) Light Rail has two stops on the Auraria Campus: Colfax at Auraria and Auraria West Campus.^[43]

The Denver Campus features both undergraduate and graduate courses, with more than 35 percent of the students graduate students.^[3] The campus is located in the heart of the central business district and is in close proximity to the Pepsi Center, Elitch Gardens, The Colorado Convention Center, The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Larimer Square, and the 16th Street Mall. The reclaimed Tivoli brewery, which closed in 1969, houses the student union.^[44]

Anschutz Medical Campus

Main article: Anschutz Medical Campus

The Health Sciences Campus previously had two sub-campuses, the main campus at Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard ("Ninth and Colorado") in Denver, which has since been decommissioned,^[45] and a new campus in neighboring Aurora, where all activities of the former Health Sciences Center has since relocated.^[22] The latter campus, which is now called the Anschutz Medical Campus, is host to the Research Complex towers, The Barbara Davis Diabetes Center, the Nighthorse Campbell Native Health building, various centers of the University of Colorado Hospital, and the health sciences library.^[46] There are approximately 3000 students at the Anschutz Medical Campus with 1297 of these in the School of Medicine (including medical and graduate students).^[47]

Architecture and Layout

The Anschutz Medical Campus is a 227-acre (0.9 km²) campus for the University and the University of Colorado Hospital.^[9] All of the facilities on the campus, with the exception of the former Fitzsimons Hospital (referred to as 500 Main, or "Building 500"), are new construction.^[48] A series of distinct quadrangular zones on the campus governs its architectural design: the research quadrangle, consisting of the three Research Complex towers, features a contemporary glass and metal design; the education quadrangle is characterized by a brick aesthetic; and the core quadrangle is located on the central axis of the campus, and anchored by Building 500.^[48] The comprehensive 116,000-square-foot (10,800 m²) medical library is located along the center quadrangle of the campus.^[49]

The combined 578-acre (2.3 km²)^[50] of the Anschutz Medical Campus and the Fitzsimons Life Science District is undergoing a $4.3 billion renovation and transformation into the largest medical-related redevelopment project in the United States.^[51] The 184-acre (0.7 km²) Colorado Science + Technology Park in Aurora is being developed directly adjacent to the health sciences areas of campus,^[52] providing opportunities to collaborate with biotechnology companies and their resources. The remaining acres of the former military facility are dedicated to commercial, hospitality, retail, and residential development.^[51]

Built as state-of-the-art, the Anschutz Medical Campus consists of three zones: an education zone with facilities for training in the medical and health-related fields, a research zone that houses the various graduate programs, and a clinical care zone with the University of Colorado Hospital and The Children's Hospital, the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine's primary adult and pediatric hospital partners, nearby.^[9]
