We've really enjoyed discussing the CU Denver Neighborhood with students at master plan meet and greet sessions! After only two sessions, we've gathered a big list of comments for a better campus. Here are the most prevalent:
1. Students really need more lounge/hang out/study spaces to use in between classes! Tivoli is very noisy while Student Commons is very busy. Can we add some quiet study spaces?
2. Students would really like a Wellness Center devoted to CU Denver!
3. Can we develop a shuttle system between Campus Village Apartments/campus parking and
CU Denver facilities east and west of Speer Boulevard? Speer is cumbersome and can be difficult to cross.
4. Can Larimer Street (current bus turnaround) be dedicated to bicycles and pedestrians only? This would create a great CU Denver Neighborhood entry promenade between the new Student Commons Building and the North Classroom.
5. The CU Denver Neighborhood "core" or "heart" is either North Classroom or Student Commons.
6. Provide healthier food options on campus, and a Starbucks.
7. Add additional lighting near the Campus Village Apartments and parking lots for safety!
8. Add more defined outdoor seating areas. Specifically, plazas and courtyards.
9. Develop more of a campus culture/community through student life, events that engage the larger community, recreation/athletics, campus art, etc.
