2025 Vibrant Denver Bond
The Vibrant Denver Bond will invest in the City of Denver’s future by repairing and improving the vital infrastructure and community spaces so many rely on daily—like roads, bridges, parks, playgrounds, recreation centers, and libraries.
​
By funding local, high-impact projects, Denver can foster equity, strengthen the vibrancy and economic resilience of the city and avoid higher costs for critical infrastructure down the road. It can also position Denver to meet the needs and demands of tomorrow by expanding parkland and open space and better connecting neighborhoods.
Anderson Academic Commons
A $37 million renovation has become the central hub of the University’s library system and the home for academic support services. The Anderson Academic Commons serves as both a quiet study space and a gathering place for students. The building hosts over 114,000 online periodical resources and 39,500 feet of linear library collections. Opened in 2013, the LEED Silver Certified building reflects 10 years of feedback about ideal academic and library services for 21st-century students and teachers.
The James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus
The James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus is situated on 720 acres of pristine wilderness adjacent to the Roosevelt National Forest. The stunning natural environment provides a contemplative wilderness setting where all community members can retreat from the city to enjoy unique and meaningful programming. This campus provides an opportunity for students to meaningfully grow and lean into DU’s 4D Experience.
Community Commons
With 360-degree views of campus and a sweeping outlook on the Front Range, the new Community Commons at the University of Denver offers a stunning centerpiece for a beautiful campus. From picturesque views, comfortable lounges to relax in, a central dining hall with countless food options and Denver’s newest green roof, the 132,000-square-foot building is designed to invigorate the traditional student experience. The Community Commons aims to be the new central place for students, faculty, staff and alumni to gather and connect.
Burwell Center for Career Achievement
The Burwell Center, which opened in September 2020, provides a welcoming space for student career development, alumni engagement, student employment, and employer connections. As a certified LEED Platinum building, this project received the highest certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), providing a framework for healthy, highly efficient, cost-saving green buildings. This sustainable 21,000 square foot space serves as a centralized hub to facilitate connections throughout the University of Denver community to both professional and life success.
Dimond Family Residential Village
Opened in Fall 2020, the Dimond Family Residential Village is the University of Denver’s newest and most innovative residential hall. This transformative new building features more than 250 rooms, which—at capacity—will house more than 500 first-year students. Designed to foster a sense of belonging, this four-story complex contains lounge areas, along with a dozen common rooms, study spaces and the Village Kitchen.
