City Heights Residence Hall

First-Year Student Housing Project

New Home Away From Home

A portion of the recreation field along Larimer Street, between 11th and 12th Streets, has been transformed into a new student housing, dining, and Learning Commons facility.

The City Heights Resid​ence Hall​​ is our home away from home to first-year students looking for an affordable housing option, but the project scope has gone far beyond that.

Heart of Our Neighborhood 

City Heights Residence Hall and Learning Commons Opens Doors Aug. 12

An important and exciting part of being a first-year undergraduate student at CU Denver comes directly from residing with other students. After nearly two years of construction in the heart of the downtown campus, we are thrilled to announce the completion of City Heights Residence Hall and Learning Commons, CU Denver’s first on-campus housing dedicated to first-year students.

The new complex will welcome nearly 555 students on move-in day Aug. 18. 

The addition brings to CU Denver an affordable housing option that doubles as a central hub for academic enrichment opportunities and peer-to-peer connection, along with a dining hall for all campus community members. First-year students will live in a central location within walking distance of some of the most-visited student and academic support services, as well fun and exciting experiences the city of Denver has to offer, including popular restaurants, unique retail spaces, state-of-the-art entertainment, and professional opportunities. 

On Aug. 12, Chancellor Michelle Marks and the Lynx community met for the first time in front of City Heights Residence Hall and Learning Commons to celebrate this momentous accomplishment for CU Denver and recognize the community members and partners who made this dream a reality.
